Effect of Lithium Carbonate on Renal and Extra-renal Functions of Rats
نویسنده
چکیده
Effect of high doses of lithium carbonate (40 rag/Kg.i.p. and p.o.) and lithium chloride (40 mg/Kg.i.p.) on renal and extra-renal functions were studied in normal male Charles Foster Strain of rats. Insignificant effect on urine output, creatinine clerance, sodium, potassium and lithium excretion was observed with these salts. Antidiuretic hormone levels were also not effected. However lithium clearance was significantly raised in both groups with lithium carbonate and with lithium chloride treated rats. Lithium carbonate and lithium chloride had failed to produce nephrogenic polyuric syndrome in this strain of rats.

Purpose: To study the effects of lithium on the fetal rat's kidney and determine volumetric changes by an unbiased stereological method. Materials and Methods: Thirty female and ten male Sprague dawley rats were chosen. Following cohabitation and observation of spermatozoa in the vaginal smear, the pregnant rats were divided into three groups (n=10). Treatment and control groups received 50 mg...

Lithium is an element which has been used as salts of chloride or carbonate for many years in the treatment of some psychological disorders such as mania, bipolar or schizophrenic diseases. Chronic application of lithium may induce some serious nephropathies such as natriuresis, renal tubular acidosis, tubulointerstitial nephritis progression to progressive chronic kidney disease and hypercalce...

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 کاملEffect of exogenous leptin on serum levels of lipids, glucose, renal and hepatic variables in both genders of obese and streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats
Objective(s): Leptin exerts various effects on appetite and body weight. Disruption of the obesitygene is precedent to fatness. Insulin or glucose elevates leptin, but streptozotocin reduces it. However, controversial data exist for the effects of leptin on diabetes and leptin level in each gender. Leptin can damage the kidney function but little evidence exists for its hepatic effects. The aim...
