Increased Excretion of Urinary 20-HETE in Rats With Cyclosporine-Induced Nephrotoxicity

The present study examined the contribution of 20-hydroxy-5,8,11,14-eicosatetraenoic acid (20-HETE) in cyclosporine A (CsA)-induced renal nephrotoxicity. Treatment of rats with CsA (50 mg/kg) for 9 days induced renal damage as indicated by marked increase in urine flow (from 9.0 ± 0.3 ml/day to 46.6...

Zusammenfassung:The present study examined the contribution of 20-hydroxy-5,8,11,14-eicosatetraenoic acid (20-HETE) in cyclosporine A (CsA)-induced renal nephrotoxicity. Treatment of rats with CsA (50 mg/kg) for 9 days induced renal damage as indicated by marked increase in urine flow (from 9.0 ± 0.3 ml/day to 46.6 ± 7.1 ml/day) and a 3 – 5-fold rise in blood urea nitrogen (BUN) levels. The urinary excretion of 20-HETE increased from 164 ± 5 ng/day (N = 5) to 2432 ± 290 ng/day (N = 5, P
