چکیده

the clinical uses of gentamicin have so far been restricted due to nephrotoxicity and ototoxicity. the exact mechanism of nephrotoxicity is still unknown; however, it appears that free radicals may be involved. methionine has previously been shown to alleviate oxidative stress involved in ototoxicity due to its antioxidant properties. therefore, the effect of methionine supplementation on the gentamicin induced nephrotoxicity was examined in this study. twenty eight male wistar rats were randomly divided into 4 equal groups to receive a daily corresponding dose of either gentamicin (80 mg/kg b.w.; i.m.; group gn), lmethionine (100 mg/kg b.w.; i.p.; mt), combination thereof (mg), and normal saline as control (ct). after slaughtering the animals on day 11, values of blood urea nitrogen (bun), serum creatinine concentration (scr), urinary gamma glutamyl transpeptidase (ggt) activity, and renal cortical reduced glutathione (gsh) contents with histopathologic investigations were measured. in group gn, biochemical profiles showed a remarkable increase in bun, scr and urinary ggt concentration, and depletion of renal cortical of gsh. in addition, histopathologic studies revealed severe acute tubular necrosis, congestion and hyaline casts, verifying gentamicin-induced nephrotoxicity. in group mg, only mild epithelial changes and renal congestion were prominent findings. moreover, these changes in rats given the combined therapy (mg) were significantly less than those of group gn, thereby suggesting that supplemented l-methionine ameliorate gentamicin nephrotoxicity in rat. in group mt, only medullary congestion was seen without change in the biochemical factors as was in the ct group with normal kidney structure. generally, results of this study showed that methionine may significantly prevent gentamicin nephrotoxicity, removing the oxidative stress.

Protective Effect of Safranal against Gentamicin-Induced Nephrotoxicity in Rat

Gentamicin is an important aminoglycoside antibiotic. However its use is limited to serious and life threatening gram negative infections, because of its high nephrotoxicity potential in patients. There are reports that safranal, the active ingredient of saffron with antioxidant properties, exerts protective effect against ischemic injuries occurred by certain nephrotoxins including gentamicin....

Biochemical effects of oleuropein in gentamicin-induced nephrotoxicity in rats

BACKGROUND Oleuropein is a natural antioxidant and scavenging free radicals. In the present study, we examined effect of oleuropein on the paraoxonase 1 (PON1) activity, lipid peroxidation, lipid profile, atherogenic indexes, and relationship of PON1 activity by high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C) and atherogenic indices in gentamicin (GM)-induced nephrotoxicity in rats. METHODS This...

Vitamin E protection against gentamicin-induced nephrotoxicity in rats: a biochemical and histopathologic study

The specificity of gentamicin for vitamin E deficiency-associated oxidative stresses in the renal proximal convoluted tubules is apparently related to its ability to increasingly facilitate generation of radical species in mitochondria. To determine the ways in which vitamin E manage the currently processes, we conducted a prospective study aimed to investigate the tubular preserving effect of ...

Salicylic Acid Attenuates Gentamicin-Induced Nephrotoxicity in Rats

Gentamicin (GM) is a widely used antibiotic against serious and life-threatening infections, but its usefulness is limited by the development of nephrotoxicity. The present study was designed to determine the protective effect of salicylic acid (SA) in gentamicin-induced nephrotoxicity in rats. Quantitative evaluation of gentamicin-induced structural alterations and degree of functional alterat...
