“…Resveratrol was shown to attenuate CIN in rats via MYPT-1, myosin-phosphatase target unit; NF-kB, nuclear factor-kB; NQO1, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate quinone oxidoreductase 1; Nrf-2/HO-1, nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2/heme oxygenase 1; PGC-1, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma-assisted activating factor-1; ROCK, rho-kinase; ROS, reactive oxygen species; SIRT1, silent information regulator 1 increasing SIRT1, PGC-1α, and SOD2, and decreasing phosphorylation of Ser 256 FoxO1 expression, leading to a reduction in oxidative stress, apoptosis, improving renal function [21]. Fasudil, a Rho kinase inhibitor, was shown to decrease ROS and increase SOD-1, and reduced Inflammation via the reduction of NF-kB p65, interleukin-6 (IL-6), and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) [23]. Moreover, apoptosis was decreased via a reduction in cleaved caspase-3 and Bax, together with increased B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2) and p-Akt/total Akt ratio.…”
