A Histomorphometric Study to Evaluate the Therapeutic Effects of Biosynthesized Silver Nanoparticles on the Kidneys Infected with

The study aimed to verify the pathogenic malarial kidney infections and histopathological pictures in mice infected with using leaf extract silver nanoparticles (IOLEAgNPs). Fifty healthy adult female mice C57BL/6 were used. Animals were divided into five groups, with each group of ten mice. The first control non-infected group was given distilled water for 7 days. The second group was orally given 50 mg/kg of IOLEAgNPs. The third, fourth, and fifth groups were injected intraperitoneally with 10 parasitized erythrocytes of . After 1 h, the fourth group received 50 mg/kg of IOLEAgNPs, while the fifth group orally received 10 mg/kg chloroquine phosphate. The histopathology of the kidney was studied by routine histology method with hematoxylin-eosin staining. The kidney revealed cerebral microvessel congestion, hemorrhages, and necrosis. Cast formation, glomerulonephritis, tubular necrosis, and congestion were observed in the kidney cortex. Consequently, the targeted medical IOLEAgNPs reduced this degeneration impact on renal tissue. Proven that plant-source synthesized IOLEAgNPs play a preventive role as antimalarial agents in female mice infected with
