Glimepiride Reduces on Experimentally Induced

چکیده
Hyperglycaemia is most probably a contributing factor in the development of ischaemic acute renal failure (ARF) in many patients. Both clinical and experimental data suggest that hyperglycaemia increases the risk of ARF. Present study was designed to evaluate in Glimepiride reduced on experimentally induced ischemia/reperfusion in diabetic rats. Type 2 Diabetes was induced in rats by a single intraperitoneal (i.p) injection of Streptozotocin (65 mg/kg, STZ) in overnight fasting rats followed by the i.p administration of Nicotinamide (110 mg/kg, NIC) after 15 minutes. After right nephrectomy, Glimepiride (0.5 mg/kg/day, p.o) was administered for 15 days. On the 16th day, ischemia was induced in contra lateral kidney for 45 min, followed by reperfusion for 24 hr. Renal function marker and oxidative parameter were estimated at the end of 24 hr reperfusion. At the end of experimental period the level of malondialdehyde formation/ lipid peroxidation (LPO) in kidney tissue and serum marker Creatinine, Urea and Uric acids were significantly increased. Whereas, the activity of biomarkers of oxidative stress such as reduced glutathione (GSH), catalase (CAT) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) were found to be decreased significantly compared to control rats. Glimepiride improved the Serum Uric acid and tissues parameter LPO after renal ischemia/reperfusion injury in diabetic rats. In conclusion, Glimepiride shows low may improve experimentally induced ischemia/reperfusion in type 2 diabetic rats.

Dual therapy of rosiglitazone/pioglitazone with glimepiride on diabetic nephropathy in experimentally induced type 2 diabetes rats
Diabetic nephropathy is a major cause of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in the general population. It is estimated that diabetic nephropathy will eventually develop in about 40% of all patients with diabetes; therefore, prevention is critical for delaying the development and progression of diabetic kidney disease. Despite extensive efforts, medical advances are still not successful enough to pr...
متن کاملGlimepiride Reduces the Expression of PrPC, Prevents PrPSc Formation and Protects against Prion Mediated Neurotoxicity
BACKGROUND A hallmark of the prion diseases is the conversion of the host-encoded cellular prion protein (PrP(C)) into a disease related, alternatively folded isoform (PrP(Sc)). The accumulation of PrP(Sc) within the brain is associated with synapse loss and ultimately neuronal death. Novel therapeutics are desperately required to treat neurodegenerative diseases including the prion diseases. ...
متن کاملGlimepiride treatment upon reperfusion limits infarct size via the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/Akt pathway in rabbit hearts.
The phenomenon termed postconditioning, that is, brief episodes of ischemia/reperfusion at the onset of reperfusion reduce infarct size, is thought to involve the activation of the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt pathway. Treatment with a drug activating PI3K at the onset of reperfusion may confer a similar cardioprotection. The sulfonylurea glimepiride has been shown to activate PI3K ...

Present study was designed to evaluate in Renoprotective activity of Pioglitazone and Glimepiride on Ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) induced renal damage in diabetic rats. Ischemia/reperfusion injury, which is commonly seen in the field of renal surgery or transplantation in diabetic condition, is a major cause of acute renal failure. Type 2 Diabetes was induced in rats by a single intraperitoneal (...
متن کاملGlimepiride Promotes Osteogenic Differentiation in Rat Osteoblasts via the PI3K/Akt/eNOS Pathway in a High Glucose Microenvironment
Our previous studies demonstrated that glimepiride enhanced the proliferation and differentiation of osteoblasts and led to activation of the PI3K/Akt pathway. Recent genetic evidence shows that endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) plays an important role in bone homeostasis. In this study, we further elucidated the roles of eNOS, PI3K and Akt in bone formation by osteoblasts induced by gli...
