1. To determine whether treatment with octreotide, a somatostatin analogue, may diminish or prevent long-term diabetic renal hypertrophy and nephropathy, uninephrectomized streptozotocin-diabetic rats maintained under moderate glycaemic control (∼300 mg/dl) were treated with either placebo (n = 10 rat/group) or octreotide for 14 weeks. Uninephrectomized non-diabetic rats given either placebo or octreotide served as controls. 2. Average body weight was diminished and kidney weight, daily urinary protein excretion, glomerular filtration rate and renal plasma flow were elevated in both diabetic groups relative to controls. 3. Administration of octreotide reduced average body weight and packed cell volume in non-diabetic and diabetic rats compared with their respective controls, but did not affect glomerular hyperfiltration or the increase in urinary protein excretion. 4. Histological examination at 14 weeks disclosed unequivocal glomerular hypertrophy and mild glomerular and tubulointerstitial lesions consistent with early diabetic renal alterations in all diabetic rats, but there was no independent effect of octreotide treatment 5. Thus, long-term treatment with octreotide did not afford protection against the development of renal hypertrophy-hyperfiltration and the evolution of early diabetic nephropathy in rats.

The present study was designed to examine the development of hypertension in diabetic rats treated with streptozotocin (STZ, 1mg/g bw). The rats were studied at 3, 6, 9, 12 and 15 weeks. From the third week the rats were divided in diabetic rats according their glycemias and controls, along 15 weeks. After the third week a group, of rats showed increased urinary protein excretion (93, 134, 155 and 191%) compared to controls. In this group of rats the urinary kallikrein excretion was lower than control and the systolic blood pressure became significantly elevated between 3 and 6 weeks and persisted up to 15 weeks. On the other hand a group of diabetic rats were normotensive with urinary protein excretion similar to controls and urinary kallikrein lower compared to control but significantly higher compared diabetic hypertensive rats. These data suggest that the association of progressive diabetic nephropathy with abnormal endothelium-dependent vasodilation may produce a high prevalence of hypertensive diabetes.

In rats with streptozotocin-induced diabetes, the effect of an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor on the evolution of glomerular injury according to the time at which the treatment is started with respect to the onset of the disease was studied. Three groups of animals were used, a control Group 1 and two groups of diabetic rats treated with insulin (Groups 2 and 3). The latter were monitored until urinary protein excretion reached 40 to 50 mg/24 h (on average, 23 wk after the induction of the diabetes). At this time, Group 2 continued to receive insulin alone, whereas Group 3 was also given the ACE inhibitor moexipril for 8 more wk. Untreated diabetic rats showed a moderate increase in systolic blood pressure that was normalized by moexipril administration. Urinary protein excretion progressively increased during the 8-wk follow-up in untreated diabetics that, at the end of the study, developed moderate glomerular sclerosis. Moexipril treatment lowered urinary protein excretion to a normal range and completely prevented glomerular injury. Three other groups of rats were similarly treated, except that moexipril treatment was started later on (when proteinuria reached 100 to 200 mg/24 h, on average, 32 wk after the induction of diabetes), and were monitored for another 8 wk. Untreated and treated diabetics had comparable blood glucose levels throughout. Systolic blood pressure, significantly increased in untreated diabetic rats, was effectively controlled by moexipril administration.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

The study investigated the expression of Wnt/β-catenin pathway in diabetic rats and the intervention effect of Huayu Tongluo herbs (HTH). Ten rats were randomly selected as control group and the remaining rats were established as diabetic models. The diabetic rats were randomly divided into model group and HTH treatment group. The intervention was intragastric administration in all rats for 20 weeks. At the end of every 4 weeks, fasting blood glucose and 24 h urinary total protein quantitatively were measured. At the end of the 20th week, biochemical parameters and body weight were tested. The kidney tissues were observed under light microscope and transmission electron microscopy. We examined Wnt/beta-catenin signaling pathway key proteins and renal interstitial fibrosis related molecular markers expression. The results showed that HTH could reduce urinary protein excretion and relieve renal pathological damage. Wnt4, p-GSK3β (S9), and β-catenin expression were decreased in the signaling pathway, but GSK3β level was not changed by HTH in diabetic rats. Furthermore, the expressions of TGF-β1 and ILK were decreased, but the level of E-cadherin was increased in diabetic rats after treatment with HTH. This study demonstrated that HTH could inhibit the high expression of Wnt/β-catenin pathway in kidney of diabetic rats. The effect might be one of the main ways to reduce urinary protein excretion.

TGF-β1has been recognized as a key mediator in DN. This study aimed to observe the effects of low-protein diets supplemented with ketoacid on mRNA and protein expression of TGF-βand TβRI and t TβRII receptors in the renal tissue of diabetic rats. A diabetes model was established in 72 male SD rats. They were then equally randomized to three groups: NPD group, LPD group, and LPD + KA group. Additional 24 male SD rats receiving normal protein diets were used as the control. Eight rats from each group were sacrificed at weeks 4, 8, and 12 after treatment, from which SCr, BUN, serum albumin, and 24 h urinary protein excretion were collected. The expressions of TGF-β1, TβRI, and TβRII in LPD and LPD + KA groups were significantly lower than those in NPD group and lower in LPD + KA group than those in LPD group. Low-protein diets supplemented with ketoacid have been demonstrated to provide a protective effect on the renal function as represented by reduced SCr, BUN, and urinary protein excretion, probably through downregulating the gene expression of TGF-β1and its receptors in LPD + KA group.

The objective of the research was to evaluate to effect of feeding mengkudu on performances of broilers. The research design used was completely randomized design. One hundred broilers were distributed into five treatments. The treatments were different levels of mengkudu meal (0, 0.75%, 1.5%, 2.25 % and 3%). The observed measured were feed consumption, average body weight (gain) and feed conversion. Results showed that feeding mengkudu (Morinda Citrifolia L.)  no effect significant (P>0.05) on feed consumption, average body weight and feed conversion.  In conclusion, feeding mengkudu meal up to 3% (in diet) does not negatively affect feed consumption, average body weight, and feed conversion.
