摘要
This study examined the protective effect of Kaempferol against streptozotocin-induced diabetic nephropathy (DN) in rats and studies the underlying mechanisms. Rats were divided into 4 groups as control, control + Kaempferol, STZ, and STZ + Kaempferol. All treatments were conducted for 8 weeks daily after the induction of diabetes. Kaempferol prevented STZ-induced weight and food loss and attenuated renal damage and the alterations in all biochemical related parameters. Concomitantly, Kaempferol reduced renal levels of TNF-alpha and IL-6, cleaved caspase-3, p38, and Bax, suppressing JNK phosphorylation and NF-kappa B p65 transactivation, and upregulation of Bcl-2. In both control and STZ-diabetic rats, Kaempferol reduced fasting glucose levels, increased fasting insulin levels and HOMA-beta, reduced the levels of ROS and MDA, stimulated SOD and GSH levels, and increased the expression of Nrf2 and HO-1. In conclusion, Kaempferol prevents STZ-induced diabetic nephropathy, mainly, by antioxidant potential, mediated by the upregulation of the Nrf-2/HO-1 axis.
