Silymarin (Silybin B) was administered intragastrically to male SV129 mice receiving cisplatin. Blood urea nitrogen levels were significantly decreased in the silybin group compared with the cisplatin group. Silybin protected against cisplatin-induced AKI in WT mice but was unable to protect SIRT3 KO mice. [2]
Renal Outcomes in Cisplatin-Treated Mice
Animal study · Male SV129 mice were treated with vehicle and cisplatin with or without silybin (n = 6). [2]
The mice were pretreated with 200 mg/kg silybin per day by intragastric administration for 7 days before and 3 days after cisplatin injection. The blood urea nitrogen level was significantly decreased in the silybin group compared with the cisplatin group. Silybin was unable to protect against cisplatin-induced AKI in the SIRT3 KO mice, whereas it had a protective effect in the WT mice.
