berberine improves liver injury following renal ischemia reperfusion in rats
نویسندگان
چکیده
this study investigated the effect of berberine on the hepatic dysfunction and histological damage induced by renal ischaemia/ reperfusion (i/r) at an early stage. there were four groups (n=7). in ber+i/r group, rats received berberine (ber; 15 mg/kg/day) orally for 7 days before induction of ischemia. i/r group received distilled water orally for 7 days. in sham and ber+sham groups in which arteries were not occluded, distilled water and berberin (15 mg/kg/day) respectively were administered orally for 7 days before surgery. renal ischemia was induced by occlusion of both renal arteries for 45 min followed by 24 h of reperfusion. blood samples were collected for biochemical analysis, and finally liver samples were preserved for future histological examination. the renal ischaemic challenge resulted in major histological damage of the liver, which was associated with increased levels of creatinine, blood urea nitrogen (bun), alanine aminotransferase (alt), aspartate aminotransferase (ast), lactate dehydrogenase (ldh) and alkaline phosphatase (alk) during reperfusion period. in ber+i/r group, the histological damage to the liver was improved along with increase in plasma creatinine, bun, alt, ast, ldh and alk being smaller than those of the non-treated rats. berberine exhibited a hepatoameliorative effect against renal ischemia/reperfusion-induced lesions.

Berberine Ameliorates Renal Functional Disorders and Pulmonary Tissue Injury Following Renal Ischemia/Reperfusion in Rats
Introduction: This study investigated the effect of berberine on renal dysfunction and histological damages of the lung induced by renal ischemia/ reperfusion at an early stage. Methods: There were four experimental groups of adult male rats (n=7). Seven days before induction of ischemia, the Ber+I/R group received oral (by gavage) berberine (15 mg/kg/day) while the I/R group received distil...
متن کاملOrexin-A Improves Hepatic Injury Following Renal Ischemia Reperfusion in Rats
Introduction: Orexins are novel neuropeptides that are localized in neurons in the lateral hypothalamus. They are implicated in a wide variety of physiological functions. Orexin peptides and receptors are found in many peripheral organs such as kidneys. It has been demonstrated that exogenous orexin-A can induce protective effects against ischemia–reperfusion injury in many organs. The goal ...
متن کاملLiver injury following renal ischemia reperfusion in rats.
INTRODUCTION All transplanted solid organs experience some degree of ischemia-reperfusion (I-R) injury. There is some evidence that I-R injury affects remote organs. We investigated the effects of renal I-R injury on hepatic function, cytochrome P-450 enzymes, and morphology in rats. METHODS A rat model of 1 hour of renal ischemia followed by 1, 4, or 8 hours of reperfusion. The assays includ...

Objective(s): The objectives of the current study were to evaluate the effects of hepatic ischemia/reperfusion (IR) injury on the activity of antioxidant enzymes, biochemical factors, and histopathological changes in rat kidney, and to investigate the effect of crocin on IR-related changes. Materials and Methods: Thirty-two male Wistar rats were randomly allocated into four groups (n=8). The...
متن کاملTLR9 Mediates Remote Liver Injury following Severe Renal Ischemia Reperfusion
Ischemia reperfusion injury is a common cause of acute kidney injury and is characterized by tubular damage. Mitochondrial DNA is released upon severe tissue injury and can act as a damage-associated molecular pattern via the innate immune receptor TLR9. Here, we investigated the role of TLR9 in the context of moderate or severe renal ischemia reperfusion injury using wild-type C57BL/6 mice or ...

Objective(s) There are some reports in recent years indicating that renal ischemia - reperfusion (IR) induces deleterious changes in remote organs such as liver. The aim of this study was to investigate whether leukocytes have a role on the induction of oxidative stress in liver after renal IR. Materials and Methods Inbred mice in IR donor group were subjected to renal IR injury. In sham don...
