Abstract:Objective To evaluate the protective effects of specific antagonists of angiotensin Ⅱ receptor losartan on the kidneys of diabetic rats and study their mechanisms. Methods Changes of urinary albumin, β2-m excretion, creatinine clearance(Ccr), NO, ET level of plasma,urine and renal tissue, serum and urinary TGF-β1 concentration and mean glomerular volume were measured. Results Losartan could correct elevated urinary albumin, β2-m excretion, Ccr and mean glomerular volume. Urinary and renal tissue NO, ET concentration decreased after diabetic rats received iosartan. Large doses of losartan also reduced urinary TGF-β1 level. Conclusion Losartan can protect the kidney of diabetic rats and the decrease of NO, ET, TGF-β1 concentration in renal tissue may be a mechanism for this action.
