Low-protein diet does not alter reproductive, biochemical, and hematological parameters in pregnant Wistar rats

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 51 (6), 2018
The aim of this study was to investigate the reproductive, biochemical, and hematological outcomes of pregnant rats exposed to protein restriction. Wistar rat dams were fed a control normal-protein (NP, 17% protein, n=8) or a low-protein (LP, 8% protein, n=14) diet from the 1st to the 20th day of pregnan...

Endothelin-1 receptor antagonists protect the kidney against the nephrotoxicity induced by cyclosporine-A in normotensive and hypertensive rats

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 51 (2), 2018
Cyclosporin-A (CsA) is an immunosuppressant associated with acute kidney injury and chronic kidney disease. Nephrotoxicity associated with CsA involves the increase in afferent and efferent arteriole resistance, decreased renal blood flow (RBF) and glomerular filtration. The aim of this study was to eval...

DNA damage in homocystinuria: 8-oxo-, 8-dihydro-2’-deoxyguanosine levels in cystathionine-β-synthase deficient patients and the in vitro protective effect of N-acetyl‑L‑cysteine

Clin. biomed. res; 38 (1), 2018
Introduction: Homocysteine (Hcy) tissue accumulation occurs in a metabolic disease characterized biochemically by cystathionine β-synthase (CBS) deficiency and clinically by mental retardation, vascular problems, and skeletal abnormalities. Previous studies indicate the occurrence of DNA damage secondar...
