Acid-Base Balance in Uremic Rats with Vascular Calcification
BACKGROUND/AIMS Vascular calcification (VC), a major complication in humans and animals with chronic kidney disease (CKD), is influenced by changes in acid-base balance. The purpose of this study was to describe the acid-base balance in uremic rats with VC and to correlate the parameters that define acid-base equilibrium with VC. METHODS Twenty-two rats with CKD induced by 5/6 nephrectomy (5/...
متن کاملChondrocyte rather than osteoblast conversion of vascular cells underlies medial calcification in uremic rats.
OBJECTIVE To investigate cell biological changes in calcified aortas of rats that experienced chronic renal failure. METHODS AND RESULTS Vascular smooth muscle cells have the potential to transdifferentiate to either chondrocytes or osteoblasts, depending on the molecular pathways that are stimulated. Uremia-related medial calcification was induced by feeding rats an adenine low-protein diet ...
متن کاملSpironolactone ameliorates arterial medial calcification in uremic rats: the role of mineralocorticoid receptor signaling in vascular calcification.
Vascular calcification (VC) is a critical complication in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). The effects of spironolactone (SPL), a mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) antagonist, on VC have not been fully investigated in CKD. The present in vivo study determined the protective effects of SPL on VC in CKD rats. Rats were divided into a control group and four groups of rats with adenine-ind...
متن کاملDifferential effects of vitamin D receptor activators on vascular calcification in uremic rats.
Vascular calcification is associated with cardiovascular disease, the most common cause of death in chronic kidney disease (CKD). Patients with CKD are treated with vitamin D receptor activators (VDRAs); therefore, we determined if this treatment affects vascular calcification. Uremic rats were given vehicle, calcitriol, paricalcitol, or doxercalciferol three times a week for 1 month. Calcitrio...
متن کاملSuppressive effects of iron overloading on vascular calcification in uremic rats
BACKGROUND Medial vascular calcification is a specific complication in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients although its pathogenesis is poorly understood. The administration of iron (Fe), generally used for the treatment of anemia in CKD patients, induces oxidative stress. Fe loading possibly affects the progress of vascular calcification in uremia. We investigated the effect of Fe on vascula...
