Abstract

Objectives: Cisplatin is a powerful chemotherapeutic drug that is used to treatment a wide variety of cancers. Despite clinical data demonstrating the cardiotoxic effect of cisplatin, few studies have been carried to improve the cardiotoxicity of cisplatin. In cisplatin-induced toxicity, oxidative stress plays a critical role. This study determined the effect of Diospyros lotus L. fruit (DL), a powerful antioxidant plant, on heart damage caused by cisplatin through histological examination and oxidative stress parameters.
