Potential protective effect of catechin on doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity in adult male albino rats

Doxorubicin (DOX) is the most effective and frequently used anticancer drug but its cardiotoxicity is the most important side effect that limits the clinical use of it. This study was designed to investigate the protective role of catechin (CAT) on DOX induced cardiotoxicity. Rats were randomly divided into three groups. Group (I) served as the control. Group (II) served as toxic group, (1.66 mg/kg; i.p.). Group (III) served as protective group,...
