Red orange and lemon extract prevents the renal toxicity induced by ochratoxin A in rats

In this work, we investigated the effects of red orange and lemon extract (RLE) on ochratoxin A (OTA)‐induced nephrotoxicity. In particular, we analyzed the change in renal function and oxidative stress in Sprague–Dawley rats treated with OTA (0.5 mg/kg body weight, b.w.) and with RLE (90 mg/kg b.w.) by oral administration. After OTA treatment, we found alterations of biochemical and oxidative stress parameters in the kidney, related to a severe...
