Background: It has been demonstrated that myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (MI/R) causes
renal damage. However, the mechanism underlying this damage in kidneys during …

Background/Aims: Although ischemic renal failure remains a major cause of morbidity and
mortality, whether ischemic changes within a kidney might also have adverse effects on …

Increases in renal sympathetic nerve activity during ischaemia and renal venous
norepinephrine levels after reperfusion play important roles in the development of …

Results The protective effect of RPEC on renal function, oxidative stress indices, pro-
inflammatory marker expression and histopathological changes of kidneys subjected to 45 …

Postischemic renal dysfunction (PIRD) is characterized by a reduction in glomerular filtration
and tubular reabsorption of solute. The relative contribution of oxygen free radicals (OFRs) …

Objectives Acute kidney injury occurs frequently in patients subsequent to coronary artery
revascularization or myocardial ischemia and reperfusion (MIR). Hypotension and excessive …

The contribution of nitric oxide (NO) to ischemic acute renal failure (ARF) is controversial. In
the present study, we investigated the effect of FK409 ((±)-(E)-4-ethyl-2-[(E)-hydroxyimino]-5 …

1. Chronic hypoxic rats are always polycythaemic. It is possible that an increase in packed
cell volume may enhance erythrocyte trapping with a consequent increase in renal damage …

Introduction: Nitric oxide (NO) is a very important peripheral and renal vasodilator derived
from L-arginine in a reaction modulated by nitric oxide synthase (NOS). We here analyze the …

Acute renal failure (ARF) during sepsis is associated with increased nitric oxide (NO) and
oxygen radicals, including superoxide (O 2−). Because O 2− reacts with NO in a rapid …
