abstract

objective(s):gentamicin sulphate (gs) nephrotoxicity seems to be related to the generation of reactive oxygen species. there is evidence that oxygen preconditioning increases the activity of antioxidant enzymes. materials and methods: forty eight female rats were divided into 6 groups (n=8) as follows: group 1 was the control, group 2 received daily gs, groups 3,4 and 5 received oxygen 2 hr/day for 2 days, 4 hr/day for 2 days, 4 hr/day for 4 days, recpectively and then received daily gs, group 6 received oxygen 2 hr/day for 2 days and then received 2 hr oxygen before daily gs injection. oxygen (with 90% purity) used at the flow rate of 4 l/min. gs administred for 8 days (100 mg/kg, ip). tissue sections prepared from the left kidney, stained with pas method and then studied hisopathologically and stereologically. the right kidneys were homogenized and the supernatants were prepared. serum mda, creatinine and urea, renal  mda, gluthatione and catalase activity were measured. the data were analyzed by mann-whitney u test at the significant level of presults: oxygen therapy significantly improves serum creatinine and urea, preserve tubular volume density, reduce tubular necrosis in groups 4 and 6 compared to group 2. oxygen therapy significantly increases renal catalase in groups 4 and 6 compared to group 2.   conclusion: pretreatment with normobaric hyperoxia and daily oxygen therapy improved gentamicin nephrotoxicity possibly via inhibition of lipid peroxidation and increasing the renal catalase activity but could not restore any parameter at the same levels as control group.

Protective effect of crocin on gentamicin-induced nephrotoxicity in rats

Objective(s): Gentamicin is used for the treatment of Gram-negative bacterial infections. However, gentamicin administration is limited because of nephrotoxicity. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the protective effect of crocin against gentamicin-induced nephrotoxicity in rats. Materials and Methods: Thirty two male Wistar rats received gentamicin (100 mg/kg, IP), with or without c...

Effect of cyclooxygenase inhibitors on gentamicin-induced nephrotoxicity in rats.

The frequent use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) in combination with gentamicin poses the additional risk of nephrotoxic renal failure. Cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1) is the main enzyme responsible for the synthesis of renal vasodilator prostaglandins, while COX-2 participates predominantly in the inflammatory process. Both are inhibited by non-selective NSAID such as indomethacin. Se...
