| Abstract: The present study was designed to investigate some histopathological changes produced by methotrexate on kidney in mice and extended to examine whether there using captopril have ability to reduce this toxicity. Forty mice(20 male and 20 femel) were divided in to 4 groups . The first group received 10mg/kg B.W. of methotrexate I/M twice weekly. The second group received 60mg/kg B.W. of captopril and then received methotrexate. While the third group received captopril alone,While fourth group (control group) received normal saline and the study was continued for (30 days). Animals which were treated with methotrexate only along the period of experiment showed sever pathological changes, characterized by severe tubular necrosis ,atrophy of glomeruli and dilatation of tubules.Where as oral administration of captopril significantly(p<0.01) reduced these changes .The protective activity of captopril has been resumed via diminishing the renal histopathological changes which associated with methotrexate Toxicity.while there were insignificant differentiated (P<0.01) between the control group and the group recieve of captopril alone. | ||
