homeostasis/metabolism
• mice show decreased levels of serum creatinine following 5/6 nephrectomy to induce kidney injury/chronic kidney disease
|
• however, mice have no defects in renal morphology or function under basal conditions
• mice that undergo 5/6 nephrectomy in a 2-step surgical procedure to induce chronic kidney disease show alleviation of renal injury, with reduced serum creatinine levels and decreased systolic blood pressure, increased expression of eNOS and BDNF and decreased expression of VCAM-1 and wWF, and reduced mitochondrial fission through recovered Drp1 and Mfn2 levels, indicating alleviation of vascular endothelial cell injury
