Effects of aminoguanidine against renal ischaemia–reperfusion injury in rats

Abstract: Aminoguanidine is an inhibitor of nitric oxide synthase (NOS), with high selectivity for the inducible isoform (iNOS). In addition to being an inhibitor of NOS, aminoguanidine also exhibits antioxidant activity. Recent studies suggest that aminoguanidine reduces ischaemia-reperfusion (I/R)-induced damage. However, the role of aminoguanidine, in renal injury associated with I/R remains unknown. This study was designed to investigate the effects of aminoguanidine on renal I/R injury. There were three groups of e… Show more

“…MDA is a stable metabolite of the free radical-mediated lipid peroxidation cascade and it is widely used as a marker of oxidative stress and lipid layer destruction. 42 In this study, although tissue MDA levels are clearly decreased by montelukast, its mechanism is not clear. Montelukast may directly eliminate free oxygen radicals or directly increase the antioxidant enzyme activity and prevent the inhibition of these enzymes.…”

“…These findings are in agreement with previous reports [25,29]. TBARS, a stable metabolite of the free radical mediated lipid peroxidation cascade, is widely used as a marker of oxidative stress and lipid layer destruction [30]. Elevated TBARS levels show that DOX causes oxidative stress and free radical formation in kidney tissue.…”

“…Serum Cr concentration is more significant than the BUN levels in the earlier phases of kidney disease. On the other hand, BUN begins to increase only after a marked renal parenchymal injury occurs [39] . These findings are compatible with the ischemic lesion related to the renal damage.…”
