Dual Blockade of the Renin-Angiotensin System in Diabetic Nephropathy
OBJECTIVE Many patients with diabetic nephropathy (DN) have levels of albuminuria > 1 g/day and blood pressure >135/85 mmHg, despite antihypertensive combination therapy, including recommended doses of ACE inhibitors, e.g., lisinopril/enalapril at 20 mg daily. We tested the concept that such patients might benefit from dual blockade of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS). RESEARCH DESIGN AND M...
متن کاملPyridoxal phosphate prevents progression of diabetic nephropathy.
BACKGROUND We have demonstrated that pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP), an active form of vitamin B6, inhibits formation of advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) by trapping 3-deoxyglucosone. The present study aimed to clarify if PLP could exert beneficial effects on nephropathy in diabetic rats. METHODS Streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats were treated by oral administration of PLP or pyri...
متن کاملTargeting the Endocannabinoid System to Treat Sepsis
The endocannabinoid system represents a potential therapeutic target in sepsis due to the presence of cannabinoid receptors (CB2) on immune cells. In this review we discuss how various targets within the endocannabinoid system can be manipulated to treat the immune consequences of sepsis. One of the targets outlined are the endocannabinoid receptors and modulation of their activity through phar...
متن کاملMangiferin prevents diabetic nephropathy progression in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats.
Diabetic nephropathy is one of the most severe diabetic microangiopathies and accounting for approximately one-third of all cases of end-stage renal disease. In the present study, we investigated the effect of mangiferin, a polyphenol from Anemarrhena asphodeloides Bge. or Mangifera indica L., on diabetic nephropathy and the possible mechanisms by using a developed diabetic nephropathy rat mode...
متن کاملTranilast prevents the progression of experimental diabetic nephropathy through suppression of enhanced extracellular matrix gene expression.
The present study was performed to investigate the effects of the antiallergic drug tranilast on the development of diabetic nephropathy in streptozotocin (50 mg/kg)-induced diabetic spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). Diabetic SHR were given standard chow or chow containing tranilast at a dose of 1400 mg/kg for 24 weeks. The effects of tranilast on urinary albumin excretion, mesangial expan...
