Morphine Induces Albuminuria by Compromising Podocyte Integrity
Morphine has been reported to accelerate the progression of chronic kidney disease. However, whether morphine affects slit diaphragm (SD), the major constituent of glomerular filtration barrier, is still unclear. In the present study, we examined the effect of morphine on glomerular filtration barrier in general and podocyte integrity in particular. Mice were administered either normal saline o...
متن کاملMorphine Induces Bacterial Translocation in Mice by Compromising Intestinal Barrier Function in a TLR-Dependent Manner
Opiates are among the most prescribed drugs for pain management. However, morphine use or abuse results in significant gut bacterial translocation and predisposes patients to serious infections with gut origin. The mechanism underlying this defect is still unknown. In this report, we investigated the mechanisms underlying compromised gut immune function and bacterial translocation following mor...
متن کاملGold Nanorods Mediate Tumor Cell Death by Compromising Membrane Integrity.
Light-activated therapies can be used to eradicate diseased cells and tissues in a non-invasive manner. Much attention has been focused on the emerging potential of photothermolysis (also referred to as optical hyperthermia), which involves the conversion of absorbed light into heat via nonradiative mechanisms. Photoactivated effects can be localized and intensified by employing exogenous agent...
متن کاملPodocyte number in normotensive type 1 diabetic patients with albuminuria.
We estimated glomerular cell number in 50 normotensive type 1 diabetic patients with raised albumin excretion rate (AER) and investigated any change after 3 years in a subgroup of 16 placebo-treated patients. Biopsies from 10 normal kidney donors were used as controls. Mesangial and endothelial cell number was increased in the 50 diabetic patients at the start of the study compared with control...
متن کاملPodocyte Injury and Albuminuria in Experimental Hyperuricemic Model Rats
Although hyperuricemia is shown to accelerate chronic kidney disease, the mechanisms remain unclear. Accumulating studies also indicate that uric acid has both pro- and antioxidant properties. We postulated that hyperuricemia impairs the function of glomerular podocytes, resulting in albuminuria. Hyperuricemic model was induced by oral administration of 2% oxonic acid, a uricase inhibitor. Oxon...
