Abstract
The present study was conducted to investigate the possible therapeutic effects of beet root plant and beet root leaves as powder on nephrotoxicrats. The current study was performed on a total of 36 male albino rats weighing (15010g) each. Rats were fed on basal diet for a week as an adaptation period. Diet was offered to rats in special food cups to avoid looser conditions of food, water was provided to the rats by glass tubes supported to one side of the cage, food and water provided ad- labium and cheeked daily. The animals were divided into 6 equal groups (6 rats for each group), one group was kept as a (C -ve) group, other 5 groups were injected with gentamicin (10mg/kg/day for 10 days in which the nephrotoxicity) to obtain the nephrotoxicrats. All rats were fed on control diet for a week before the beginning of experiments for adaptation and disported into six equal groups (n= 6rats) as the following: group (1): Rats fed on basal diet as a control negative. group (2): Injected intraperitoneally with (aminoglycosides antibiotics) Garamycin (10 mg/kg) every 24 hr. for 10 days to induce Nephrotoxicity, one of the adverse reaction takes place (Doumas et al., 1971). As a positive control group which feed on basil diet. group (3): 6 rats: Induced by 5% beet root as powder per kg/diet. group (4): 6 rats: Induced by 10% beet root as powder per kg/diet. group (5): 6 rats: Induced by 5% beet root leaves as powder per kg/diet.
