26 Nephrotoxicity is the main complication of gentamicin (GM) treatment. GM induces 27 renal damage by overproduction of reactive oxygen species and inflammation in 28 proximal tubular cells. Phenolic compounds from ginger, called gingerols, have 29 demonstrated to have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. We investigated if the 30 oral treatment with an enriched solution of gingerols (GF...

BACKGROUND The direct renin inhibitor aliskiren is known to exhibit a strong antihypertensive effect. However, the organoprotective potential of aliskiren beyond its antihypertensive properties is less clear. This study investigates the antifibrotic nephroprotective effects of aliskiren in a nonhypertensive mouse model for progressive renal fibrosis. METHODS COL4A3(-/-) mice received aliskire...
