The kidneys formed part of the secretary system are two bean-shaped organs located against the back muscles in the upper abdominal area.
The kidneys play a critical role in filtering wastes from the breakdown of active muscle and the food you eat and removing extra water from the blood through urinary secretion.
Furthermore, the kidneys also maintain the fluid in the body by secreting extra water through urinary secretion.
Nephrotoxicity is a condition associated with toxicity in the kidneys induced by chemical toxins and chemicals and medications.
Nephrotoxicity-induced kidney damage has been found in most patients with kidney failure.
Oxidative nephrotoxicity is a medical condition associated with the reduced function of the kidney due to the expression of oxidative stress in the kidney often observed by kidney oxidative stress markers.
Oxidative stress is a condition caused by either overexpression of free radicals or low levels of antioxidant enzymes produced by the host body.
In other words, the unbalanced ratio of the levels of free radicals and antioxidant enzymes is the major cause of the onset of oxidative stress, leading to the damage of lipids, DNA, and protein in the cells of the host.
Free radicals are unstable and highly reactive molecules with a single electron in the outer ring.
In order for them to become stable, free radicals are ready to donate or intercept an electron from other molecules, leading to a chain reaction that cannot be stopped until the electrons on the outer ring are paired or inhibited by antioxidants.
Antioxidants are stable molecules that inhibit the oxidation induced by free radicals.
Black mustard is a spice that belongs to an annual plant cultivated for its black or dark brown seeds native to tropical regions of North Africa, temperate regions of Europe, and parts of Asia.
On finding a potential plant that processes kidney protective activity researchers examined the protective effect of the methanol extract of B. nigra leaves against D-galactosamine (D-GalN)-induced nephrotoxicity in Wistar rats.
The study included the administration of a methanol extract of B. nigra at doses of 200 and 400 mg/kg b.wt. against D-GalN (500 mg/kg b.wt.) induced toxicity on tested rats, with silymarin used as the standard.
Compared to the control, D-GalN-induced toxicity showed a significant increase (p < 0.001) in the serum and tissue inflammatory markers in toxic rats,
However, pretreatment of The B. nigra in toxic groups (200 and 400 mg/kg b.wt.) exerted a strong (p < 0.001) reduction in the D-GalN-induced toxicity observed by the expression of biochemical parameters.
In other words, B. nigra leaf extract pretreatment protected the kidney tissue against damage induced by oxidation.
Furthermore, s the standard group treated with silymarin also showed a similar effect as of the experimental extract
Based on the findings, researchers said, "The crude methanol extract of B. nigra leaf lacks inherent toxicity and exhibits hepatic and nephroprotective effects against D-GalN-induced toxicity in Wistar rats".
Taken altogether, Black mustard may be considered a functional food for the prevention of oxidative nephrotoxicity, pending the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.
