abstract

background: simvastatin is a widely used medication in cardiac care. here we evaluate the role of atp sensitive potassium (katp) channels in simvastatin induced renal protection after renal ischemia/reperfusion (i/r) injury.    methods: a total of 81 male wistar rats, were treated with simvastatin (10 and 20mg/kg/day gavage, one week). some groups received glibenclamide (katp channel inhibitor 5mg/kg) before ischemia (45min) and reperfusion (24h). finally the kidneys were processed for histological analysis and measurement of biochemical parameters including tissue malondialdehyde (mda), blood urea nitrogen (bun), fractional excretion of sodium (fena), creatinine clearance rate (ccr) and bcl2-associated x protein (bax) expression.    results: ir significantly increased serum cr (p< 0.01) and bun levels (p< 0.01), elevated fena (p< 0.01) and tissue mda (p< 0.01), and decreased ccr (p< 0.01) and induced histological damage. bax pro-apoptotic protein was upregulated in renal tissue after i/r injury and downregulated in simvastatin pretreated group. simvastatin at doses of 10 and 20mg/kg/day significantly reduced serum cr and bun levels (p< 0.05 vs. ir group), tissue mda contents and fena (p< 0.05 vs. i/r) and increased ccr (p< 0.05 vs. ir). renal tissue injury was improved only in simvastatin 20mg/kg/day group (p< 0.05). glibenclamide significantly abolished protective effects of simvastatin and increased serum cr and bun and fena and decreased ccr (p< 0.05). it also abolished the effects of simvastatin on tissue injury and mda contents and downregulated the bax protein after ir injury (p< 0.05).    conclusion: opening of katp channels is essential for simvastatin-induced renal protection against i/r injury.

ATP-sensitive Potassium Channels and L-type Calcium Channels are Involved in Morphine-induced Hyperalgesia after Nociceptive Sensitization in Mice

Introduction: We investigated the role of ATP-sensitive potassium channels and L-type calcium channels in morphine-induced hyperalgesia after nociceptive sensitization. Methods: We used a hotplate apparatus to assess pain behavior in male NMRI mice. Nociceptive sensitization was induced by three days injection of morphine and five days of drug free. On day 9 of the schedule, pain behavior te...

The Mechanism of Preventive Effect of Captopril on Renal Ischemia Reperfusion Injury is Independent of ATP Dependent Potassium Channels

Background: Renal ischemia reperfusion (IR) injury has been a major source of concern during the past decades and angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors have been successfully used to prevent this injury. There have been some controversial reports about the involvement of KATP channels in the mechanism of action of ACE inhibitors. In this study, we examined the effect of KATP channel bl...
