Abstract
The effects of diallyl sulfide (DAS) and diallyl disulfide (DADS) on cisplatin-induced changes in glutathione (GSH) and glutathione-S-transferase (GST) activity in rat liver and kidney was investigated. Cisplatin treatment significantly (p < 0.05) decreased GSH and GST activity in both liver and kidney. DADS treatment significantly (p < 0.05) enhanced GSH and GST activity in rat liver and kidney. Furthermore, DADS treatment reversed the effect of cisplatin on GSH and GST activity both in liver and kidney. Administration of DADS with cisplatin could enhance GSH and GST activity and lower cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity.Keywords
