Özet
Purpose: Cisplatin is one of the most potent and widely used chemotherapeutic agents for the treatment of a wide variety of solid organ cancers. However, due to various side-effects such as nephrotoxicity, its therapeutic applications are limited. In the current study, it was aimed to investigate the effects of N-acetylcysteine (NAC), which is an effective antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent, on cisplatin-induced apoptosis in rat kidneys.
