Sumatriptan ameliorates renal injury induced by cisplatin in mice
Objective(s): Cisplatin (Cis) is an anticancer compound, which is used for the treatment of various cancers. Sumatriptan (Suma) is a selective agonist of 5-hydroxytryptamine 1B/1D (5HT1B/1D) receptor, which is prescribed for the management of migraine. It is well-established that Suma has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. We have explored the protective effe...
متن کاملRenal protection in immunoglobulin-A nephropathy.
Sir, I applaud the timely reminder by Nagy et al. [1] that good control of hypertension can do much to ameliorate the course of immunoglobulin-A nephropathy. There are some good antiproliferative agents coming along. Only I wish to point out that we have forgotten [2] the potential of anti-thromboxanes [3], which will surely be synergistic to angiotensin-converting enzyme or angiotensin-recepto...
متن کاملMetformin and renal injury protection
Implication for health policy/practice/research/medical education: Metformin protects against tubular injury by modulation of oxidative stress on the tubules and restoring the biochemical alterations. While in diabetes, glycosuria causes tubular cell injury. Furthermore metformin is able to protect podocytes in diabetic nephropathy. These findings may suggest the clinical use of metformin in th...

متن کاملMitochondrial Toxicity of Depleted Uranium: Protection by Beta-Glucan
Considerable evidence suggests that mitochondrial dysfunction contributes to the toxicity of uranyl acetate (UA), a soluble salt of depleted uranium (DU). We examined the ability of the two antioxidants, beta-glucan and butylated hydroxyl toluene (BHT), to prevent UA-induced mitochondrial dysfunction using rat-isolated kidney mitochondria. Beta-glucan (150 nM) and BHT (20 nM) attenuated UA-indu...
