Abstract
BACKGROUND: Gentamicin-induced-acute kidney injury (AKI) is a multifaceted phenomenon which previously linked to the oxidative stress only. Vinpocetine prevents reactive free radical generation which contributed in reduction of damage. Therefore, objective of the present study was to investigate the renoprotective effect of vinpocetine on gentamicin-induced-AKI in rats.
METHODS: Thirty Sprague Dawley Male rat were divided into three groups. Control group (
RESULTS: Vinpocetine led to significant renoprotective effect on gentamicin induced-AKI through amelioration of blood urea and serum creatinine compared with gentamicin group
CONCLUSIONS: Vinpocetine leads to significant attenuation of gentamicin-induced-AKI through modulation of oxidative stress and pro-inflammatory pathway.
Keywords: AKI; gentamicins; oxidative stresses; pro-inflammatory pathways; vinpocetines
