Abstract

Background and Purpose: To investigate the effect of thiamine and thiamine pyrophosphate on doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity biochemically and histopathologically and to examine whether doxorubicin cardiotoxicity is related to the conversion of thiamine into thiamine pyrophosphate and inhibition of thiamine pyrophosphokinase (TPK) enzyme.
