Abstract:
Objective To compared two classical rat models of nephrotic syndrome and to provide some reference data to researchers.Methods Thirty male SD rats were randomly divided into control group,puromycin aminonucleoside-induced nephrotic syndrome (PAN) group and adriamycininduced nephrotic syndrome (ADR) group.The body weight,twenty four hour proteinuria level,serum albumin concentration,cholesterol concentration,creatinine and urea concentration were measured.The renal pathology change was evaluated.The drug toxic effects,administration methods and the costs were also compared.Results There was no significant difference in body weight and hair color between control group and PAN group.Compared to control group,the body weight of the rats significantly decreased at day 15 and day 21 in ADR group (P ＜ 0.01),accompanied by epilation and diarrhea.Compared to control group,the 24-hour urinary protein levels increased significantly at day 10 (P ＜ 0.01),day 15 (P ＜ 0.01),and reached the peak level at day 15 (P ＜ 0.01),day 21 (P ＜ 0.01) in PAN group and ADR group respectively.Compared to control group,the serum albumin concentration decreased significantly at day 10 (P＜0.01),and return to normal level at day 15.The serum cholesterol concentration was increased significantly at day 10 (P ＜ 0.01) and return to normal at day 15 in PAN group.Compared to control group,the serum albumin concentration was decreased significantly at day 15 (P＜0.05) and return to normal at day 21 in ADR group.No significant difference of serum creatinine and serum urea nitrogen levels were found among three groups.Compared to control group,the width of foot process increased significantly at day10 (P ＜ 0.01) and day 15 (P ＜ 0.05) in PAN group and ADR group respectively.To successfully induce a nephrotic rat model (per 100 g),the cost of PAN group was 3.1 times of ADR group (578.10 yuan vs 186.94 yuan).Conclusions Nephrotic syndrome can be induced by both PAN and ADR.The administration of PAN via intraperitoneal injection is more convenient as compared to ADR via tail intravenous injection.Compared to ADR,PAN can induce nephrotic syndrome model more rapidly,with more consistent detection index,and less toxic effects,but its cost is more expensive.
