Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Renal protective effects of naringenin at 0.5, 1 and 2% of the diet in diabetic mice were examined. Naringenin supplement at 1 and 2% increased its deposit in liver and kidney of diabetic mice. Compared with diabetic control group, naringenin treatments at 1 and 2% lowered plasma levels of glucose and blood urea nitrogen, as well as increased insulin level and creatinine clearance (P<0.05). Naringenin treatments dose-dependently reduced renal tumor necrosis factor-alpha level and expression (P<0.05); but only at 1 and 2% significantly decreased production and expression of interleukin (IL)-1beta, IL-6 and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (P<0.05). Naringenin intake at 2% declined renal formation and expression of type IV collagen, fibronectin, and transforming growth factor-beta1 (P<0.05). This compound at 1 and 2% lowered protein kinase C activity, and suppressed nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) p65 activity, mRNA expression, and protein production in kidney. However, this agent only at 2% diminished NF-κB p50 activity, mRNA expression, and protein production (P<0.05). These results support that naringenin could attenuate diabetic nephropathy via its anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrotic activities.
