Abstract
Objective: To investigate the renoprotective, the antioxidant, and the anti-inflammatory impact of a combination of SPL and ZnO-NPs to combat against chronic kidney disease (CKD).
Methods: In total, 50 males of rats were distributed into 5 groups (10 rats each); normal group, adenine sulfate (0.25% in diet for 10 days) (CKD) group. After the last dose of adenine sulfate, rats were divided into three groups: SPL + Adenine sulfate group; rats were treated orally by mixing SPL (20 mg/kg/day) into chow for 8 weeks, ZnO-NPs + Adenine sulfate group; rats were injected intraperitoneally with ZnO-NPs (5 mg/kg) three times weekly for 8 weeks, ZnO-NPs + SPL + Adenine sulfate group; rats were injected with the same previous doses for 8 weeks.
Results: Each of SPL and ZnO-NPs up-regulated antioxidant genes (Nrf2 and HO-1), down-regulated fibrotic and inflammatory genes (TGF-β1, Wnt7a, β-catenin, fibronectin, collagen IV, α-SMA, TNF-α, and IL-6) compared to CKD. Furthermore, a combination of SPL and ZnO-NPs resulted in a greater improvement in the measured parameters than a single treatment.
Conclusion: The therapeutic role of SPL was enhanced by the antioxidant and the anti-inflammatory role of ZnO-NPs, which presented a great renoprotective effect against CKD.
期刊介绍:
Redox Report is a multidisciplinary peer-reviewed open access journal focusing on the role of free radicals, oxidative stress, activated oxygen, perioxidative and redox processes, primarily in the human environment and human pathology. Relevant papers on the animal and plant environment, biology and pathology will also be included.
While emphasis is placed upon methodological and intellectual advances underpinned by new data, the journal offers scope for review, hypotheses, critiques and other forms of discussion.
