Nephroprotective effects of 4-4(hydroxyl-3 methoxyphenyl)-2-butane against sodium tellurite induced acute kidney dysfunction by attenuating oxidative stress and inflammatory cytokines in rats
Abstract
The aim of this study was to elucidate the protective action mechanism of 4-4(hydroxyl-3-methoxyphenyl)-2-butane against Sodium tellurite (ST) induced nephrotoxicity in rats. ST is a hazardous substance used in metallurgical and glassware industries, but its renal toxicities have not been well established before. Rats were distributed into four groups, six rats contain in each group. Normal control group given only vehicles only, toxic group given ST 8.5 mg/kg p o, treated groups given ST and 4-(hydroxyl-3-methoxyphenyl)-2-butane(100 mg/kg bwt), and positive control given only treatment drug 4-(hydroxyl-3-methoxyphenyl)-2-butane (100 mg/kg bwt) daily for 14 days. ST administration increases an alteration in biochemical, oxidative stress, cytokines markers, and morphological changes in toxic group. When it was treated with 4-(hydroxyl-3- methoxyphenyl)-2-butane significantly (p 0.05) changes have been seen in positive control as compared to normal control. In conclusion, 4(hydroxyl-3 methoxyphenyl)-2-butane successfully defended the kidney from oxidative stress, inflammatory cytokines and necrosis against ST intoxication. Thus, significant improvements were reflected and confirms with the improvement in histopathological changes.
