Objective: This study aimed to assess the association between synovial fluid (SF) metabolites and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) measurements of cartilage biochemical composition to identify potential SF biomarkers for detecting the early onset of cartilage
The molecular pathogenesis of T-2 toxin-induced cartilage destruction has not been fully unraveled yet. The aim of this study was to detect changes in serum metabolites in a rat anomaly model with articular cartilage destruction. Thirty healthy male Wistar rats were fed a diet containing T-2 toxin
N intake in the form of protein has neither got an upper nor a lower limit for agricultural working animals within a diet and there is no control mechanism for it. A high surplus of certain amino acids results in a reduction of feed intake. N excretion in faeces depends on 1) the excretion of N
In uremic patients, the serum concentration of indoxyl sulfate is markedly increased. To determine if oral sorbent (AST-120) suppresses the endogenous synthesis of indoxyl sulfate, it was administered to experimental uremic rats, and the serum concentration and urinary excretion of indoxyl sulfate
The chronic nephrotoxic effects of cyclosporine (CsA) include proximal tubular atrophy and vacuolization. This study investigated the effect of CsA on renal hemodynamics and segmental electrolyte transport in CsA-treated patients. The clearance of inulin (CIn) and PAH para-amino-hippuric acid (CPAH)
OBJECTIVE
In patients with chronic glomerular nephropathy associated arterial hypertension and proteinuria are considered to be cardinal risk factors in the progressive deterioration of renal function. Treatment regimens which reduce proteinuria and hypertension improve prognosis. The effect of the
A 23-year-old man consulted the urological department of our hospital with a complaint of urinary retention. He had consulted the department of ophthalmology for decreased vision and visual defect in both of his eyes of 1 year duration. Urodynamic study revealed detrussor hyporeflexia.
In a patient with hyperargininemia, oral administration of sodium benzoate or phenylacetic acid together with an essential amino acid mixture was used to prevent hyperammonemia and to decrease plasma and CSF concentrations of arginine. Sodium benzoate reduced the plasma ammonia levels, which was
It has been postulated that occupational exposure to hydrocarbons may damage the kidney and lead to glomerulonephritis and chronic renal failure. As laminin is a ubiquitous basement membrane component that seems to play a central part in the structure and function of basement membranes and as the
trans-Cinnamaldehyde is a widely used natural ingredient that is added to foods and cosmetics as a flavoring and fragrance agent. Male and female F344/N rats and B6C3F(1) mice were exposed to microencapsulated trans-cinnamaldehyde in the feed for three months or two years. All studies included
The indigenous population is one of the most vulnerable to suffer from contaminated environments. One of the target organs to suffer early deterioration from exposure to toxins is the kidney. The objective of this article was to evaluate biomarkers of exposure to organic and inorganic toxins and
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a global problem. Slowing CKD progression is a major health priority. Since CKD is characterized by complex derangements of homeostasis, integrative animal models are necessary to study development and progression of CKD. To study development of CKD and novel
