Adriamycin Nephropathy in BALB/c Mice

Effects of Pravastatin in Adriamycin-Induced Nephropathy in Rats

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of pravastatin on Adriamycin (ADR)-induced nephropathy and the mechanisms involved. Forty rats were divided into the following 4 groups: control, ADR (15 mg.kg-1, IP), ADR plus pravastatin (20 mg.kg-1 which was started 5 days prior to ADR injection), and ADR plus pravastatin (20 mg.kg-1 which was started 5 days after ADR injection). On day 20 aft...

Adriamycin nephropathy in severe combined immunodeficient (SCID) mice.

Experimental focal glomerulosclerosis is a model of chronic proteinuric renal disease that has been induced in both rats and mice. In mice, the adriamycin (ADR)induced nephropathy model is a robust experimental analogue of human focal glomerulosclerosis [1]. Renal injury in the ADR-induced nephropathy model is characterized by changes in both the tubulointerstitial and glomerular compartments. ...

Nitro-oleic acid protects against adriamycin-induced nephropathy in mice.

Adriamycin (ADR) administration in susceptible rodents such as the BALB/c mouse strain produces injury to the glomerulus mimicking human focal glomerular sclerosis. The goal of the present study was to use this model to investigate antiproteinuric action of nitro-oleic acid (OA-NO2), a nitric oxide-derived endogenous lipid product, which has exhibited multiple attractive signaling properties pa...
