Angiotensin Converting Enzyme Activity in the Serum, Lung, Liver and Kidney in Streptozotocin -Induced Diabetic Rats and Diabetic Nephropathy
نویسندگان
چکیده
The levels of serum ACE activity unchanged 3 days post STZ treatment but it was significantly an increase 12 and 30 days post STZ treatment in diabetic rats (p<0.001). Lung ACE activity was significantly incerased at 12 and 30 days post STZ Treatment in diabetic rats (P<0.05 and P<0.005). There was not showed an increase in the liver ACE activity at 3 and 12 days in diabetic rats such it was significantly elevated at 30 day in diabetic rats (P<0.05). Kidney ACE activity was significantly elevated at 12 day post STZ

Renoprotection by Telmisartan versus Benazepril in Streptozotocin Induced Diabetic Nephropathy
Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is one of the major causes of end stage renal disease. Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor and angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) are preferred for delaying progression of DN. This study compared the preventive renal effects of telmisartan (10 mg/kg, p.o.), an ARB that completely blocks angiotensin action, and benazepril (5 mg/kg, p.o.), an ACE inhibitor, whi...
متن کاملStudy of Serum and Tissues Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (ACE) Activity in Rat with Gentamicin Induced Renal Toxicity
The angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) converts the inactive angiotensin I molecule to the active angiotensin II. ACE is rich in epithelium, endothelium, and neuroepithelial cells and it found largely on the brush border of intestine and kidney proximal tubules. ACE also presents in the serum. Some pulmonary and renal toxic drugs change the serum and tissue ACE contents. In this research ACE...
متن کاملLong-term, high-dose aspirin therapy increases the specific activity of complex III of mitochondrial respiratory chain in the kidney of diabetic rats
Introduction: One of the main mechanisms by which diabetic complications occur is an alteration of the structure and function of proteins due to hyperglycemia. Aspirin (ASA) affects cellular pathways through different mechanisms, including glycation inhibition and antioxidant activity. The aim of the present study, as a follow up to our previous one, is to investigate the effect of long-term, h...
متن کاملExtract of Adenanthera pavonina L. seed reduces development of diabetic nephropathy in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats
Objective: The aim of the present study was to investigate the renal protective effect of Adenanthera pavonina (A. pavonina) seed aqueous extract (APSAE), in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats. Materials and Methods: The renal protective effect of A. pavonina seed aqueous extract (APSAE) was studied in STZ-induced diabetic rats. APSAE (50, 100 and 200 mg/kg per day) was given daily to ...
متن کاملChanges of endothelin in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats: effects of an angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor, enalapril maleate.
Endothelin-1 (ET-1) concentrations are increased in patients with diabetes mellitus, particularly those with diabetic retinopathy, or essential hypertension. We hypothesized that ET-1 might participate in the development and progression of diabetic microangiopathy. In this study, the effects of the angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor, enalapril maleate, on diabetic angiopathy were exa...
