Mycophenolate Mofetil Ameliorates Diabetic Nephropathy in db/db Mice
Chronic low-grade inflammation is an important factor in the pathogenesis of diabetic complication. Mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) has an anti-inflammatory effect, inhibiting lymphocyte proliferation. Previous studies showed attenuation of diabetic nephropathy with MMF, but the underlying mechanisms were unclear. This study aimed to identify the effect of MMF on diabetic nephropathy and investigat...
متن کاملMycophenolate mofetil ameliorates diabetic nephropathy through epithelial mesenchymal transition in rats.
Recent studies in animal models have revealed that mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) has certain protective effects against experimental diabetic nephropathy. The present study therefore aimed to investigate the hypothesis that diabetic nephropathy may be ameliorated by mycophenolate mofetil and benazepril treatment alone or in combination, and identify the potential underlying mechanisms in a rat mo...
متن کاملRosmarinic Acid Ameliorates Diabetic Nephropathy in Uninephrectomized Diabetic Rats
Objective(s) Oxidative stress plays an important role in diabetic nephropathy pathogenesis. Rosmarinic acid, a plant phenolic compound, was first used as an antioxidant agent for inhibition of diabetic nephropathy. Material and Methods Forty male rats were uninephrectomized from the left flank.The rats were divided in four groups randomly; group one as control, group two diabetic untreatment...
متن کاملMycophenolate mofetil and cyclosporine therapy in membranous nephropathy.
Idiopathic membranous nephropathy (IMN) remains one of the most common causes of the nephrotic syndrome (NS) in adults. Although the natural history is extremely variable, approximately two thirds of the patients will have persistent high-grade proteinuria and/or develop renal failure over a decade of observation. On the other hand, the remaining third of patients will remit spontaneously and p...
متن کاملRituximab followed by mycophenolate mofetil in children with IgM nephropathy.
IgM nephropathy presents with refractory nephrotic syndrome and its treatment is a significant challenge for pediatricians. We present two patients with IgM nephropathy and frequently relapsing nephrotic syndrome treated with rituximab and subsequently mycophenolate mofetil. Both showed complete remission, which 24 to 30 months later, was still maintained. The role of mycophenolate mofetil ther...
