Renin-angiotensin system and unilateral ureteral obstruction
Unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO) is a clinical scenario that leads to obstructive nephropathy. UUO alters the expression of many mediators in the ipsilateral kidney. Renin-angiotensin system (RAS) is involved in UUO. Angiotensin II (Ang II) and angiotensin 1-7 (Ang 1-7) as the main arms of RAS influence kidney function which may alter by UUO. Ang II via Ang II receptor subtypes I (AT1R) ...
متن کاملNitric oxide and asymmetric dimethyl arginine (ADMA) levels in an experimental hydronephrotic kidney caused by unilateral partial ureteral obstruction
AIM Our aim is to measure asymmetric dimethyl arginine and nitric oxide levels in rats with induced unilateral acute ureteral obstruction to research the effects on the kidney. MATERIAL AND METHODS The study included 21 adolescent (average age 6 weeks) Sprague-Dawley male rats weighing between 240-290g divided at random into 3 groups. Group-1: Control group (n=6): underwent no procedures. Gro...
متن کاملDelayed ureteral obstruction following gunshot pellet migration.
Following his initial presentation, he required an exploratory laparotomy, gastric oversew, and transverse colon repair, but was still known to have multiple remaining intra-abdominal pellets (Figure 1). He had no previous urological history, but urinalysis on admission revealed microscopic hematuria. Renal function was normal, but his C-reactive protein was increased at 38 mg/L (normal value <...
متن کاملExpression of Aquaporin-3 in Ipsilateral Rat Kidney With Unilateral Partial Ureteral Obstruction
PURPOSE Aquaporin (AQP), a protein located in the cellular membrane, allows rapid passage of water across the cell membrane. Various AQP subtypes have been associated with ureteral obstruction. In particular, AQP3 has two functions: water and glycerol transport. The aim of this study was to investigate the expression of AQP3 in the ipsilateral rat kidney in unilateral partial ureteral obstructi...
متن کاملAssessment of Morphological and Functional Changes in the Mouse Testis and Epididymal Sperms Following Busulfan Treatment
Busulfan, a cytotoxic drug, which is currently used as a chemotherapeutic agent, has many side effects on different body organs. In this research, the effects of busulfan on sperm parameters and microstructure of mouse testis were investigated. Methods: Busulfan was injected intrapretoneally at 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 mg/kg and testes were removed after 4, 6 and 8 weeks, weighed and processed fo...
