Nutritional Potential, Phytochemical Content, In Vivo Antioxidant, and Antanemic Potential of Musa paradisiaca Flower

Food Chemistry International, EarlyView.
After collecting Musa paradisiaca leaves, some were dried and others were used to produce aqueous extracts. The extracts and powders were characterized and then administered to rats made anaemic by PHZ. After 14 days of administration of the two samples, the rats were euthanized and it was observed that after 9 days of treatment, the aqueous extract ...

Targeting the Nrf2/TGF‐β1/Smad Signaling Pathway: A Novel Strategy for Urolithin A to Alleviate Renal Fibrosis

Food Frontiers, EarlyView.
The diagram of the mechanism of action by which UroA regulates RF. ABSTRACT The global prevalence and mortality rates associated with chronic kidney disease (CKD) have been on a continuous rise over recent decades. Renal fibrosis (RF) serves as a critical factor in the progression of CKD to end‐stage renal disease.

Unique proximal tubular cell injury and the development of acute kidney injury in adult patients with minimal change nephrotic syndrome

BMC Nephrology, 2017
Background Adult patients with minimal change nephrotic syndrome (MCNS) are often associated with acute kidney injury (AKI). To assess the mechanisms of AKI, we examined whether tubular cell injuries unique to MCNS patients exist.

Generation of Mice Harboring Bicc1 Conditional Null Alleles. [PDF]

Genesis
ABSTRACT Bicaudal C1 (Bicc1) encodes an RNA‐binding protein critical for many organ development and epithelial tissue homeostasis. Bicc1 null mutations have been shown to lead to the development of polycystic kidney disease (PKD) and death at an early prenatal stage.

Maintenance of Carnitine Homeostasis as a Therapeutic Strategy to Attenuate Cisplatin‐Induced Acute Kidney Injury

Food Frontiers, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Acute kidney injury (AKI) has emerged as a significant global public health concern due to its high morbidity and mortality rates. Cisplatin, a highly effective and widely used chemotherapeutic agent, is often limited in clinical application by its nephrotoxicity, particularly AKI.

Formin isoforms are differentially expressed in the mouse embryo and are required for normal expression of fgf-4 and shh in the limb bud [PDF]

, 1995
Mice homozygous for the recessive limb deformity (ld) mutation display both limb and renal defects. The limb defects, oligodactyly and syndactyly, have been traced to improper differentiation of the apical ectodermal ridge (AER) and shortening of the ...
