Aim: The goal of the study is to examine the protective qualities of thymoquinone (TQ) against the side-effects of olanzapine (OLZ) in an experimental model in rat kidneys.
Material and Methods: Thirty five female Spraque-Dawley rats were divided into 5 groups (n=7): Control, OLZ, OLZ+TQ-1, OLZ+TQ-2, OLZ+TQ-3. All treatments were administered for two weeks by gavage. Two weeks administration of OLZ (4 mg/kg, once a day for the first week, 8 mg/kg once a day for the second week, p.o.) was given to all groups, except control. TQ was administered (25, 50, 100 mg/kg, once daily) by gastric tube. On treatment day 15, kidney tissues were removed for analysis.
Results: TQ increased the total antioxidant status (TAS) and decreased creatinine (Cr), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), oxidative stress index (OSI) and total oxidant status (TOS) levels significantly (p
