Eucommiae cortex extract alleviates renal fibrosis in CKD mice induced by adenine through the TGF-β1/Smad signaling pathway.
Research into the potential therapeutic benefits of herbal remedies for treating chronic kidney disease (CKD), a condition marked by renal fibrosis and persistent inflammation, has become popular. Eucommiae cortex (EC) is a vital herb for strengthening bones and muscles and tonifying the kidneys and liver. In the study, C57 BL/6 mice were given a diet containing 0.2% adenine to create a CKD model. The findings demonstrated that exogenous EC supplementation successfully decreased the levels of creatinine and urea nitrogen, down-regulated the TGF-β1/Smad signaling pathway's expression levels of TGF-β1, α-SMA, Smad3, and phospho-Smad3, and prevented renal fibrosis. Consequently, it was determined that EC might have a nephroprotective impact.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Natural Medicines is an international journal publishing original research in naturally occurring medicines and their related foods and cosmetics. It covers:
-chemistry of natural products
-biochemistry of medicinal plants
-pharmacology of natural products and herbs, including Kampo formulas and traditional herbs
-botanical anatomy
-cultivation of medicinal plants.
The journal accepts Original Papers, Notes, Rapid Communications and Natural Resource Letters. Reviews and Mini-Reviews are generally invited.
