Abstract Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy is one of the most distressing side effects of chemotherapeutic drugs. In this study we tried to investigate the preventive effect of nerve growth factor (NGF) on taxol induced peripheral neuropathy. 30 adult male albino rats were used. They were classified into 3 groups (G) (n of each=10),. G1, normal control IP injected with normal saline ... إقراء المزيد
