Renoprotective effects of Gushen Jiedu capsule on diabetic nephropathy in rats

Abstract: Gushen Jiedu capsule (GSJD) is a formula that has been widely used in traditional Chinese medicine for the prevention and treatment of diabetic nephropathy (DN). However, the mechanism underlying the protective effects of GSJD on DN is still unclear. This study was performed to clarify the therapeutic effects of GSJD on DN and its underlying mechanisms. High-fat diet-and streptozotocin-induced DN rats were treated with or without GSJD suspension by gavage for 8 weeks, and biochemical changes in blood and urine… Show more

“…According to the United States Renal Data System, DKD accounts for up to 50% of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) cases [ 1 , 2 ], and also the main risk factor for death of patients with diabetes [ 3 , 4 ]. It is characterized by hyperglycemia, persistent proteinuria, hypertension and impaired renal function [ 5 – 8 ]. The main therapeutic strategy of the early DKD is hypoglycemic and antihypertensive combined symptomatic treatment, and the main therapeutic strategy of the late DKD is kidney transplantation.…”

“…Although, testicular dysfunction in diabetes is not life threatening, the psychological and emotional problems associated with it is huge. Whereas, complications of the kidney arising from diabetes can be fatal and can result in end stage kidney disease, kidney failure or even death 9 . The etiology of diabetes induced kidney and testes damage is assumed to be multifarious and complicated, however, oxidative stress and excessive accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) due to chronic hyperglycaemia has been partly or wholly implicated in the onset and progression of these damages 10–13 .…”

“…Whereas, complications of the kidney arising from diabetes can be fatal and can result in end stage kidney disease, kidney failure or even death. 9 The etiology of diabetes induced kidney and testes damage is assumed to be multifarious and complicated, however, oxidative stress and excessive accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) due to chronic hyperglycaemia has been partly or wholly implicated in the onset and progression of these damages. [10][11][12][13] Hyperglycaemia activates signalling pathways that enhances the accumulation of ROS and oxidative stress which in turn leads to the formation of advanced glycation end products, pro-inflammatory mediators and apoptosis which play a critical role in diabetic complications including kidney and testes damage.…”

“…Shenshuaining capsules [ 22 ] can significantly reduce serum urea nitrogen and creatinine and improve renal function. Gushen Jiedu capsules [ 23 ] can inhibit apoptosis and protect the kidney in rats with DN. Yishen capsules [ 24 ] promote podocyte autophagy and improve DN by regulating the SIRT1/NF-kappaB signaling pathway.…”
