Chronic administration of AM251 improves albuminuria and renal tubular structure in obese rats.
Modulation of the endocannabinoid system as an anti-obesity therapeutic is well established; however, the direct effects of cannabinoid receptor 1 (CB1) antagonism on renal function and structure in a model of diet-induced obesity (DIO) are unknown. The aim of this study was to characterise the renal effects of the CB1 antagonist AM251 in a model of DIO. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were fed a low-...
متن کاملAM251 Suppresses Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition of Renal Tubular Epithelial Cells
Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of renal tubular epithelial cells is one of the causative mechanisms of kidney fibrosis. In our study, we screened lipophilic compounds using a lipid library including approximately 200 lipids to identify those that suppressed EMT induced by a transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1 stimulus. Initial screening was performed with the immortalized HK-2 renal tu...
متن کاملEffects of Chronic Administration of Different Doses of Nitrate on Renal Function in Female Rats
Introduction: As a nitric oxide (NO) donor, nitrate administration improves renal function in male animals. This study aims to determine the effects of chronic administration of different doses of nitrate on kidney function in normal adult female rats by measuring serum urea and creatinine and assessing the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). Materials and Method: Two-month old female ...
متن کاملAM251, cannabinoids receptors ligand, improves recognition memory in rats.
High density of cannabinoid receptors type 1 (CB1) in the brain suggests that endocannabinoid system plays an important role in the functioning of the central nervous system. Natural and synthetic cannabinoids are known to attenuate learning and memory processes. The adverse effects of cannabinoids are reversed by SR141716A, at first reported to be a selective CB1 receptor antagonist, later sho...
متن کاملAdministration of troxerutin improves testicular function and structure in type-1 diabetic adult rats by reduction of apoptosis
Objective: The glucose-reducing effects of troxerutin was previously proven. This study was conducted to evaluate troxerutin effect on testicular structure and spermatozoid parameters in type-1 diabetic adult male rats. Materials and Methods: Fifty male Wistar rats were randomly clas...
