چکیده

introduction: ischemia/reperfusion (ir) injury involves a complex interrelated sequence of events. high levels of nitric oxide (no) are generated with inducible form of nitric oxide synthase (inos) leading to the renal ir injury and glutathione (gsh) depletion. the present study was designed to investigate the effect of l-nil (n6- (1-iminoethyl)-l- lysine.hydrochloride), a selective inhibitor of inos, in prevention of renal gsh depletion and ir injury. methods: ischemia was induced by 40-min clamping of the renal arteries followed by 6 h reperfusion. rats were randomly assigned to four groups: sham operated, sham- l-nil, ir and ir- l-nil. in the ir groups, rats were administered saline or l-nil (3 mg/kg iv bolus followed by infusion of 1 mg/kg/h) 15 min prior ischemia. other groups underwent surgery protocol but did not undergo renal arteries occlusion and were maintained under anesthesia for the duration of the experiment (40 min + 6 h). renal function was assessed by plasma creatinine (cr), blood urea nitrogen (bun), and aspartate aminotransferase (ast) measurements. fractional excretion of na+ (fena+), urinary n-acetyl-ß-d-glucosaminidase (nag) activity and renal gsh level were also measured. results: we found that l-nil significantly reduced the ir mediated increases in cr, bun, ast, fena+, nox and urine nag activity. conclusion: these results emphasize the multifactorial nature of renal ir injury and the need for a multidrug therapy in the future.

Amelioration of rat renal ischemia/reperfusion injury by L-Nil

Introduction: Ischemia/reperfusion (IR) injury involves a complex interrelated sequence of events. High levels of nitric oxide (NO) are generated with inducible form of nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) leading to the renal IR injury and glutathione (GSH) depletion. The present study was designed to investigate the effect of L-Nil (N6- (1-Iminoethyl)-L- lysine.hydrochloride), a selective inhibito...

Effect of pre-treatment with oxytocin on cardiac enzymes in regional ischemiareperfusion injury induced in the rat heart

Introduction: Cardiac preconditioning represents the most potent and consistently reproducible method of rescuing heart tissue from undergoing irreversible ischemic damage. The aim of the present study was to evaluate oxytocin (OT) induced cardioprotection and its signaling pathways on lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and creatine kinase-MB isoenzyme (CK-MB) in the anesthetized rats. Methods: Ei...

Amelioration of ischemic acute renal injury by neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin.

Acute renal failure secondary to ischemic injury remains a common problem, with limited and unsatisfactory therapeutic options. Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) was recently shown to be one of the maximally induced genes early in the postischemic kidney. In this study, the role of NGAL in ischemic renal injury was explored. Intravenous administration of purified recombinant NGA...

Amelioration of arsenic toxicity by L-Ascorbic acid in laboratory rat.

A study so as to confirm the protective effects of L-ascorbic acid against inorganic arsenic (As23) toxicity was made in male Wistar rats. Multiphase observations made on iAs concentration in target organs viz. liver and kidney, liver function, histopathological changes, ultrastructural alterations, lipid peroxidation, oxidative stress and iAs-DNA interaction strongly favoured its ameliorative ...
