Abstract
This study was performed to evaluate the reno-protective and antioxidant effects of aqueous Citrus sinensis (orange) peel extract in male Wistar rats administrated adenine. Adenine was administrated to male Wistar rats at a dose of 0.75 percent w/w in feed daily for four weeks. Rats previously fed adenine were treated with orange peel extract at a dose of 40 mg/kg BW/day by oral gavage during the same period of adenine administration. The results indicate that rats fed adenine- with aqueous orange peel extract significantly decreased urea, creatinine, and uric acid concentrations in the blood. The elevated kidney lipid peroxidation product, the lowered glutathione concentration, and the suppressed antioxidant enzyme activities were significantly improved. At the same time, the expressions of heme-oxygenase1 (HO-1), wnt7a, and β-catenin genes were actively regulated. Histological changes in the kidney were represented by congestion, hypertrophied glomerulus, vacuolization of the endothelial cells lining the glomerular tuft, and interstitial nephritis in adenine-administrated rats also remarkably improved. In conclusion, administering orange peel aqueous extract with adenine reduces the signs of adenine toxicity on renal function by enhancing the antioxidant defense system.
期刊介绍:
Biointerface Research in Applied Chemistry is an international and interdisciplinary research journal that focuses on all aspects of nanoscience, bioscience and applied chemistry. Submissions are solicited in all topical areas, ranging from basic aspects of the science materials to practical applications of such materials. With 6 issues per year, the first one published on the 15th of February of 2011, Biointerface Research in Applied Chemistry is an open-access journal, making all research results freely available online. The aim is to publish original papers, short communications as well as review papers highlighting interdisciplinary research, the potential applications of the molecules and materials in the bio-field. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical results in as much detail as possible.
