Abstract:
Objective To observe the influence of L-Arg supplementation during early postnatal life on renal function of rats with intrauterine growth retardation(IUGR).Mehod Afer establishment of IUGR model with 10% protein diet,rats were divided randomly into 2 groups: IUGR group and L-Arg treated group(LT group).Normal control group(NC group) rats were fed with 20% protein diet.The level of NO,Cr in serum were measured from 1 w to 3 months and UCr,24 h-proteinuria were measured from 3 w to 3 months.Results(1)The levels of serum NO reduced significantly in group IUGR at every stage,not significantly different between group LT and NC,but more in group LT than in group IUGR.(2)The levels of 24h-proteinuria had no significant difference among three groups at 3 w and 2 month,but was significantly higher in group IUGR than group LT and group NC.(3)The Cr levels had no significant difference at every stage among three groups.The UCr level was decreased in group IUGR than group NC at 2 month and than group NC and LT at 3 month.(4)The level of CCr in group IUGR was decreased significantly at 3 w,2 month and 3 month than group LT and group NC.Conclusion L-Arg can increase serum NO and CCr levels and decrease the level of 24h-proteinuria in rats with IUGR.It is one of the important reasons to increase 24h-proteinuria and reduce CCr level for low NO value.
