ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES:
Diabetic nephropathy is a chief reason of mortality particularly in individuals with renal dysfunction. The current research was aimed to assess the nephroprotective portion of Vaccinium oxycoccos toward mice diabetic nephropathy induced by streptozotocin (STZ). V. oxycoccos was purchased and used for hydroalcoholic extraction.METHODS:
Sixty male mice were subjected to STZ-intraperitoneal injection (45â¯mg/kg). After diabetes induction, mice were divided into five groups of diabetic control (received only STZ), non-diabetic control (received only citrate buffer), two V. oxycoccos treatment (received V. oxycoccos extract (200 and 400â¯mg/kg) oral daily by gavage), and metformin treatment (received metformin (500â¯mg/kg) oral daily by gavage). Glucose and weight of mice were checked weekly.RESULTS:
After 28 days, the effect of V. oxycoccos extract on serum and urine parameters were assessed. STZ caused significant decreased in the mice body weight. Mice treated with the V. oxycoccos (400â¯mg/kg) harbored the lowest weight loss at day 28 (70.2±1.38â¯g). STZ caused significant increase in the mice FBS. Mice treated with the V. oxycoccos (400â¯mg/kg) harbored the lowest FBS at day 28 (189.2±1.20â¯mg/dL). Treatment of mice with V. oxycoccos (400â¯mg/kg) caused the lowest increase in the levels of cholesterol, HbA1c and triglycerides compared to the diabetic control mice. Compared to the diabetic control group, mice treated with V. oxycoccos (400â¯mg/kg) had the highest HDL, insulin, SOD, and GSH (p<0.05). The lowest serum BUN, CR, and UR were found in mice treated with V. oxycoccos (400â¯mg/kg). Anti-inflammatory effects of V. oxycoccos (400â¯mg/kg) was shown by the lowest TNF-α, IL-6, and TGF-ß1 concentration in mice treated with V. oxycoccos (400â¯mg/kg).CONCLUSIONS:
The current study disclosed that treatment with V. oxycoccos resulted in substantial development in the serum and urine parameters and also antioxidant and anti-inflammatory response of STZ-induced diabetic mice.Palavras-chave
