Renal ameliorating effect of resveratrol in hydrogen peroxide induced male rats

Abstract EN

The study aimed to investigate the potential effect of resveratrol (RS) supplementation in attenuating kidney injury induced by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in male rats.

forty adult male rats were randomly assigned into four groups (10 each).

the control group was orally supplemented with distilled water, and group G1 was orally supplemented with tap water containing 0.5% of H2O2, G2: was orally supplemented with tap water containing 0.5% of H2O2 and RS 87 mg / kg BW, and G3 was orally supplemented with RS 87 mg / kg BW.

blood samples were obtained before treatment and after 45 days of daily treatment.

serum concentrations of creatinine (CR), urea nitrogen (UN), and total bilirubin were assessed.

on day 45, male rats were euthanized, and kidney samples were taken to estimate malondialdehyde (MDA) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) concentrations, and other samples were obtained for histopathological examination.

the results showed a significant increase in creatinine and bun concentrations accompanied by a significant increase in MDA and a decrease in sod in kidney tissue in G1 group male rats compared to other groups.

resveratrol partially restored the studied criteria related to renal functions by modulating the histopathological changes in the kidney induced by hydrogen peroxide.

it could be concluded that supplementation of resveratrol to oxidatively stressed rats maintains the antioxidant defenses mechanism and could be helpful in the prevention of renal oxidative stress.
