Abstract

The study aim to evaluate the effect of ethanolic leaf extract of crassulacea and bisoprolol on antioxidant marker in doxorobosin induced cardiotoxicity. 35 wistar rats of both sexes were randomly divided into five group containing seven (7) each. Group [ the control group, Group II doxorubicin group. Group I Crassulaceae, Group 1V doxorubicin + Crassulaceae, Group V: Doxorobicin + Bisoprolol. All the animal were allowed feed and water at will. Group [ is the control group. Group Il was administered with 50mg/kg body weight of doxorubicin, Group Il was administered with ethanolic extract of craculacea 600mg/kg body weight, Group IV was administered Doxorobicin 50mg/kg body weight + ethanolic extract of craculecea 600mg/kg body weight, Group V was administered Doxorobicin 50mg/kg body weight + Bisoprolol 50mg/kg. the experiment lasted for 28 days. At the end of the 28 days, the animal were taken to the lab and they were sacrificed. Blood was gotten through cardiac puncture and centrifuged. Serum was collected for laboratory analysis of Superoxide Dismutase (SOD), Malondialdehyde (MDA), and Glutathione Peroxidase (GPX). The result revealed that serum SOD showed a significant [ower level (P
