This study was aimed to evaluate the nephroprotective effect of sinapic acid against mercuric chloride-induced renal toxicity in mice. The mice were allocated to four groups named a normal group (G1), model group (G2; received HgCl2, 1\u00a0mg\/kg bw), treatments groups (G3 and G4: received 50 and 100\u00a0mg\/kg bw of sinapic acid together with HgCl2). Mice received HgCl2 remarkably showed alteration in all examined biochemical biomarkers (urea, creatinine, and bilirubin), and induced alteration in blood cell picture and anemia. HgCl2 intoxication decreased both systemic and renal antioxidant activity and induced over all oxidative stress as indicated by alteration in inflammation and oxidative stress associated markers. HgCl2 affected renal histology with leukocytic and inflammatory cell infiltration, fibrosis and tubular necrosis. Administration of sinapic acid (50 and 100\u00a0mg\/kg bw) markedly restored the HgCl2\u2212induced oxidative stress (serum and renal: MDA, GSH, CAT, SOD, and T-AOC), proinflammatory cytokines (serum and renal: TNF-\u03b1, IL-6, IL-1\u03b2, and PGE2) and restored the changes on biochemical markers, and hematological parameters (hemoglobin, erythrocytes, platelets, and leukocytes). Taken together, the results of the present study disclose that sinapic acid has the potential to attenuate HgCl2-induced renal toxicity and may be an ideal choice against mercury poisoning.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/toxres\/tfae066","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,4,16]],"date-time":"2024-04-16T15:15:48Z","timestamp":1713280548000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Ameliorative
