Abstract:
[Objective]To investigate the mechanism of Qingre Yiqi Tongluo(QRYQTL) fang in treating the diabetic nephropathy. [Methods]60 Sprague-Dawleg rats were divided into normal control group(N), Diabetic nephropathy model group(M) (model rats were prepared by intraperitoneal injection with STZ after unilateral nephrectomy), then the model rats were assigned into model control group, QRYQTL fang treatment group(Q) and Irbesartan treatment group(I). After 12 weeks of the treatment, the contents of superoxide dismutase(SOD),catalase(CAT),glutathione peroxidase(GSH-Px) and malondialdehyde (MDA) in renal tissue were examined by enzyme linked immunoassay(ELISA); the glomerular area(GA), mesangium area(MA),MA/GA, mean width of the podocyte foot processes(FPW) ,foot process fusion rate(FPFR) and average thickness of glomerular basement membrane(GBMT) were measured. [Results]Compared with N group, the contents of MDA in kidney homogenate and the GA,MA, FPW,FPFR,GBMT were markedly increased (P<0.01or P<0.05),the contents of SOD,CAT, GSH-Px and MA/GA were significantly decreased( P<0.01or P<0.05). QRYQTL fang reduced the level of MDA and decreased the GA, FPW, FPFR and GBMT(P<0.01or P<0.05). Compared with I group ,the QRYQTL fang was superior to Irbesartan in reducing the MDA, FPFR as wel as increasing the SOD,CAT(P<0.05).[ Conclusions]QRYQTL fang has a protective effect on the experimental diabec-tic nephropathy rats. The mechanism may be related to inhibiting oxidative stress, improving the body ’s antioxidant ability and al eviating the glomerular morphologic injury.
