1. 1

   Methotrexate-induced hepatotoxicity

   Plant part used: Sheet. Mentioned synergistic association: Moringa Oleifera-feuille.

   Scientific references (short excerpts)

   Short excerpts only (not the full article). Full reference records are in the Lapo v2 application.

   • According to Kanwal S (2018)

     Excerpt Aims: The aim of this work was to test the possible protective effect of Beta vulgaris & Moringa oleifera leaves against MTX induced hepatotoxicity in rats. Results: Ethanolic extracts of B vulgaris & M oleifera individually and in combination exhibited significant hepatoprotective effect when administered prior to methotrexate in rats, by maintaining normal murine LFTs (ALP.AST, ALT) with P value <0.05.

   • According to Jain NS (2012)

     Excerpt The present study concluded that BVBF possess potent hepatoprotective effect against ethanol-induced hepatic toxicity & it may have a great potential role in the management of alcoholic liver disease. The present study was undertaken to investigate the hepatoprotective action of Beta vulgaris leaves against ethanol-mediated hepatotoxicity.

   • According to Váli L (2007)

     Excerpt Our aim was to determine the liver-protecting properties of bioactive substances of table beet in a model of ischemia-reperfusion injury of the rat. able beet (Beta vulgaris var.

   • According to Aggarwal M (2006)

     Excerpt Hepatoprotective activity of Beta vulgaris against CCL4 induced hepatic injury in rats.

   • According to Ninfali P (2017)

     Excerpt The green beet (Beta vulgaris var. A significant body of evidence also points to the role of these phytochemicals in the downregulation of the pro-survival genes, baculoviral inhibitor of apoptosis repeat-containing 5 & catenin beta-1, as well as the genes controlling angiogenesis, hypoxia inducible factor 1A & vascular endothelial growth factor A.

2. 2

   Cyclosporin A

   Plant part used: Sheet.

   • According to Albalawi WI (n.d.)

     Excerpt The aim of this study was to determine the protective effects of beet root (Beta Vulgaris L) extract & silymarin against hepatotoxicity induced by Cyclosporine-A in rats. Hepatotoxicity induced by Cyclosporine-A (CsA) remains one of the major side effects.

   • According to Ninfali P (2017)

   • According to Váli L (2007)

     Excerpt able beet (Beta vulgaris var. Results: As a result of feeding, global parameters (H-donating ability, reducing power, free SH group concentration) & enzymatic antioxidants (glutathione peroxidase and superoxide dismutase) of the liver were found to increase significantly, which indicated that the treatment had a positive effect on its redox state.
