Theoretical assessment of renal autoregulatory mechanisms.
A mathematical model of renal hemodynamics was used to assess the individual contributions of the tubuloglomerular feedback (TGF) mechanism and the myogenic response to glomerular filtration rate regulation in the rat kidney. The model represents an afferent arteriole segment, glomerular filtration, and a short loop of Henle. The afferent arteriole model exhibits myogenic response, which is act...
متن کاملMolecular Mechanisms of Curcumin Renoprotection in Experimental Acute Renal Injury
As a highly perfused organ, the kidney is especially sensitive to ischemia and reperfusion. Ischemia-reperfusion (IR)-induced acute kidney injury (AKI) has a high incidence during the perioperative period in the clinic and is an important link in ischemic acute renal failure (IARF). Therefore, IR-induced AKI has important clinical significance and it is necessary to explore to develop drugs to ...
متن کاملLow protein diet and chronic renal failure in Buddhist monks.
Clinical observations were made in five Buddhist monks with chronic renal failure on a low protein diet. These monks consumed only one meal and meditated three to four times a day. The estimated protein intake was from 15 to 19 g a day. Renal function remained stable over three years of observation. The general condition was satisfactory without any evidence of protein energy malnutrition. The ...
متن کاملRenoprotection 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 کاملThe Protective Effect of a Low-Protein Diet against Tubulo-Interstitial Damage in Diabetic Kidneys
Clinically, the efficacy of a low-protein diet (LPD) on diabetic nephropathy is controversial. Our study clearly showed that a very-low-protein diet (VLPD) intervention improved advanced diabetic nephropathy, particularly tubulo-interstitial injuries by restoring autophagy through the suppression of the mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) pathway, in a rat model of type 2 diabetes ...
