EXPLORING THE PROTECTIVE ROLE OF WATER EXTRACT OF SPIRULINA PLATENSIS ON DOCETAXEL-INDUCED LIPID PEROXIDATION USING MALONDIALDEHYDE AS MODEL MARKER

Abstract

Author(s): Supratim Ray

This in vitro study was designed with an aim to evaluate free radical scavenging activity of water extract of Spirulina platensis on docetaxel-induced lipid peroxidation using malondialdehyde as model marker. In this study goat liver has been used as liver source. The results suggest that docetaxel could induce lipid peroxidation to a significant extent and it was also found that water extract of the Spirulina platensis has the ability to suppress the docetaxel-induced toxicity.
