Atorvastatin improves the course of ischemic acute renal failure in aging rats.
Statins increase the production of nitric oxide (NO) and have beneficial effects on the course of acute renal failure (ARF) in young rats. The effects of a short-term treatment with atorvastatin (ATO) on ischemic ARF in old rats, characterized by a great susceptibility to ischemia, was tested. No difference was found in renal dynamics between young (Y, 3 mo old) and old (O, 18 mo old) rats in n...
متن کاملCystone, a well-known herbal formulation improves renal function in rats with acute renal failure (ARF) induced by Glycerol intoxication
The present study was aimed to evaluate the beneficial effect of Cystone syrup in an experimental model of glycerol-induced acute renal failure (ARF) in rats. Biochemical parameters, kidney weight and histopathological evaluation were performed to conclude the beneficial effect of Cystone syrup. Administration of single dose of 50% v/v glycerol (8ml/kg.i.m) caused severe renal dysfunction assoc...
متن کاملNormotensive ischemic acute renal failure.
Copyright © 2007 Massachusetts Medical Society. A cute renal failure is defined as a rapid decrease in the glomerular filtration rate, occurring over a period of minutes to days. Because the rate of production of metabolic waste exceeds the rate of renal excretion in this circumstance, serum concentrations of markers of renal function, such as urea and creatinine, rise. The causes of acute rena...
متن کاملL-Arginine counteracts nitric oxide deficiency and improves the recovery phase of ischemic acute renal failure in rats.
BACKGROUND In ischemic acute renal failure (ARF), nitric oxide-dependent regulation of renal hemodynamics and glomerular function is disturbed. Previous studies indicate that the nitric oxide precursor l-arginine (l-Arg) has beneficial effects on renal function. Here we further analyzed the impact of l-Arg on functional and biochemical parameters of nitric oxide signaling during the course of i...
متن کاملGhrelin improves renal function in mice with ischemic acute renal failure.
Growth hormone and IGF-1 have been suggested to have tissue-protective effects. Ghrelin is a stomach-derived growth hormone secretagogue. The effects of ghrelin on ischemia/reperfusion-induced renal failure in mice were examined. Ischemic acute renal failure was induced by bilateral renal artery clamping for 45 min and reperfusion for 24 h. Ghrelin (100 microg/kg mouse) or vehicle was injected ...
