Protective Effects of Luteolin on Diabetic Nephropathy in STZ‐Induced Diabetic Rats

Abstract: Diabetic nephropathy is a long-term complication of diabetic mellitus. Many experimental evidences suggest that persistent hyperglycaemia generates intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) and upregulates transforming growth factor-b1 and extracellular matrix expression in mesangial and tubular epithelial cells, which is involved of free radicals in the pathogenesis of diabetes and more importantly in the development of diabetic complications. Antioxidants effectively inhibit high-glucose- and H2O2-induced … Show more

“…Rutin pretreatment prevented cisplatin-induced deteriorative effects by reduction of increased oxidative stress as well as caspase-3, TNF-α and NFκB protein expression levels (Arjumand et al, 2011). The flavonoid luteolin has been also shown to possess direct antioxidant activity that involved changes in SOD activity, the malondialdehyde (MDA) content and expression of Heme Oxygenase-1 (HO-1) protein (Wang et al, 2011). OLE acted as a genoprotective and antioxidant agent against PM-induced toxicity.…”

“…Luteolin at high concentrations (10-50 mM) was reported to inhibit the activation of LXRa/b by the agonist T0901317, and the expression of its target gene, ABCA1, in macrophages (115). Despite this apparent inhibitory effect on LXR activation observed in vitro, luteolin supplementation has been shown to increase HDL cholesterol in both ovariectomized mice (50 mg/kg daily for 12 wk) (116) and streptozotocin-induced type 1 diabetic rats (200 mg/kg for 8 wk) (117). Chrysin and wogonin are 2 flavones that have also been studied in macrophage cell lines.…”

“…This is partly due to insufficient knowledge of the pathophysiology initiated by hyperglycemia, the resulting DN, and its detection at a late stage. Some of the most important events in the pathogenesis of hyperglycemia-induced renal injury and DN are oxidative stress, inflammation, and fibrosis (Kanwar et al, 2011;Wang et al, 2011). Current therapies directed to delaying the progression of DN include 1) intensive glycemic and optimal blood pressure control, 2) interruption of the renin-angiotensin system through the use of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors and angiotensin type 1 receptor blockers, and 3) dietary modification, flavonoid administration, and cholesterol-lowering agents (Sharma et al, 2008;Balakumar et al, 2009).…”
