Introduction: Kisspeptin is biologically active peptide encoded by the KISS1 gene that is structurally found in the kidney tubule, collecting duct and vein smooth muscle cells. Aim: We aimed to investigate the role of kisspeptin in kidney function and renal pathophysiology in experimental kidney ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. Materials and methods: Male Spraque-Dawley rats were divided into control and I/R groups (n=8). Both kidney vessels of I/R group rats were clamped and subjected to ischemia for 60 minutes and reperfusion for 48 hours. After the reperfusion period blood samples and kidney tissue were collected under anesthesia. Results: Levels of urea, creatinine (p<0.01) in serum, Kim-1 in urine (p<0.05) were increased, creatinine clearance, aldosterone and ANG II levels in serum were decreased in the I/R group compared with the Control group (p<0.05). Kidney kisspeptin levels decreased and urine kisspeptin levels increased (p<0.05). Conclusions: The present study has shown that the levels of kisspeptin change in kidney damage and thus the kisspeptin may play a role in the regulation of renal function and in the pathophysiology of acute kidney injury.
Bu çalışmanın amacı, Trakya Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesinde, 3. dönem öğrencilerine yönelik, toplam dört haftalık süreyi kapsayan, fizyoloji, acil tıp, kardiyoloji, enfeksiyon hastalıkları, nöroloji ve anestezi yoğun bakım bölümlerinin işbirliği ile yürütülen, "Şok Fizyopatalojisi ve Tedavisine İleri Yaklaşım" isimli seçmeli ders modülünde uygulanan aktif öğretim yöntemlerine ilişkin öğrencilerin görüşlerinin tanımlanmasıdır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışma nitel boyutlu çalışma desenlerinden, durum analizi deseni kullanılarak yürütülmüştür. Çalışma verileri, etik kurul onayını takiben, üç farklı nitel veri toplama tekniği (bireysel görüşme, odak grup görüşmesi ve doküman incelemesi) kullanılarak toplanmıştır. Verileri analiz etmede doküman analizi, betimsel analiz ve içerik analizi yöntemlerinden yararlanmıştır.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
