Kaempferol (KPF), a dietary flavonoid, has been documented to have anti-parasitic effects and various medicinal uses. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the efficacy of KPF in preventing and treating the intestinal and muscular phases of trichinellosis in mice compared with albendazole (ABZ). To achieve this, mice were divided into six groups: negative control; positive control; KPF prophylaxis; KPF treatment; ABZ treatment; and a combination of ABZ and KPF. Parasitological, histopathological and immunohistochemical evaluations were conducted to assess the effectiveness of the treatments. The parasitological assessment involved counting small intestinal adult worms and encysted muscle larvae. Additionally, the histopathological evaluation used the haematoxylin and eosin staining method for intestinal and muscular sections and picrosirius red stain for muscular sections. Moreover, the immunohistochemical expression of the intestinal NOD-like receptor-pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) was evaluated. The group treated with combined drugs demonstrated a statistically significant reduction in the count of adults and encysted larvae (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.05), a remarkable improvement in the inflammation of the intestines and muscles and a decrease in the thickness of the larvae's capsular layer. Additionally, the highest reduction in NLRP3 expression was observed in this group. Based on this study, KPF shows promise as an anti-trichinellosis medication that, when taken with ABZ, has a synergistic impact by modulating inflammation and larval capsule formation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0022149x23000184","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,18]],"date-time":"2023-04-18T08:37:39Z","timestamp":1681807059000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Assessment
