Quercetin and hesperidin's effects on carbon tetrachloride (CCl4)-induced nephrotoxicity were examined using a rat model. After being exposed to CCL4 (0.5 mg/kg), rats were gavaged with quercetin and hesperidin (2.4, 2.4, and 1.4 mg/kg each) for twenty-one days. To assess several biochemical indicators, samples were collected. Measurements were made of nitric oxide (NO), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), and malondialdehyde (MDA). Renal function was assessed using the concentrations of the electrolytes Na, K, Ca, P, and Cl. The levels of GPx (glutathione peroxidase), GSH (glutathione), and CAT (catalase) were measured for antioxidants, and histopathology was also investigated. After being exposed to carbon tetrachloride (CCl4), the concentrations of the electrolytes Na, K, Ca, P, and Cl as well as the histopathological findings increased significantly (P UR - https://bprmcs.com/article/synergistic-action-of-hesperidin-and-quercetin-modulate-the-efficacy-of-ccl4-induced-nephrotoxicity-ptulophz4oipoam ER -
