Effect of combination of Tribulus terrestris, Boerhavia diffusa and Terminalia chebula reverses mercuric chloride-induced nephrotoxicity and renal accumulation of mercury in rat

Mercury generates free radicals and oxidative stress which are associated with renal injury. Tribulus terrestris (TT), Boerhavia diffusa (BD), and Terminalia chebula (TC) have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Hydroalcoholic extract of combination of TT, BD and TC were evaluated against mercuric chloride induced nephrotoxicity. Rats (n = 6) were treated with combination of TT, BD and TC in three different doses (198, 300 and...
