Abstract

Background

It is well established that the activation of the renin–angiotensin system (RAS) and the oxidative stress caused by hyperglycemia are major mediators of the development and progression of diabetic nephropathy (DN). Vitamin D may be important in maintaining podocyte health, preventing epithelial-to-mesenchymal transformation, and suppressing renin gene expression and inflammation, but its mechanism requires clarification. This study evaluated the specific mechanism of vitamin D to DN improvement.

Methods

We induced a rat model of diabetes with an intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin (60 mg/kg). The streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats were fed normal chow for about 2 months to induce the DN model. The DN rats were then treated with irbesartan and/or calcitriol, administered intragastrically about 1 month.

Results

The rats displayed the early characteristics of DN, including increased microalbuminuria, obvious hypertrophic kidney, and a markedly increased kidney weight/bodyweight ratio. Vitamin D inhibited the compensatory increase in renin expression. Malondialdehyde, which reflects oxidative stress levels, was elevated in the DN group rats and their antioxidant capacity was significantly reduced. The irbesartan and calcitriol interventions markedly improved the renal pathology and pathophysiological changes. Irbesartan combined with vitamin D (calcitriol) more effectively ameliorated DN than irbesartan alone.

Conclusions

Vitamin D combined with angiotensin II type 1 receptor blockers exerts a synergistic effect on the treatment of DN, not only by inhibiting renin but also by reducing oxidative stress and increasing the renal antioxidant capacity.

Bei Herzinsuffizienz muss „Eisenmangel“ neu definiert werden!

16.05.2024 Herzinsuffizienz Nachrichten

Bei chronischer Herzinsuffizienz macht es einem internationalen Expertenteam zufolge wenig Sinn, die Diagnose „Eisenmangel“ am Serumferritin festzumachen. Das Team schlägt vor, sich lieber an die Transferrinsättigung zu halten.
