Twenty male Wistar rats (250 g ± 20 g) were used in this study. The rats were maintained at a controlled room temperature (21 °C ± 2), humidity at approximately 55% ± 10, light and dark cycles every 12 h, and no restriction of food and drink. After a week of acclimation, the rats were randomly divided into the following four groups: control/untreated, and D1 (Cisplatin 3 mg/kgBW), D2 (Cisplatin 5 mg/kgBW), and D3 (Cisplatin 6 mg/kgBW) groups. Cisplatin was administered intraperitoneally (i.p.) on days 1, 3, and 5 (19-22). The control group did not receive anything. The rats were sacrificed on day 14 by guillotine decapitation.
