The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of canagliflozin on AKI caused by ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) in non-diabetic rats. Male Wistar rats weighing 250-300g were randomized into four groups: SHAM (rats subjected to sham renal ischemia-reperfusion surgery); CANA (canagliflozin by gavage, 200mg/kg, once, daily, 5 days); I/R: rats subjected to I/R- AKI (bilateral renal hilum clamping, 30 minutes); CANA+I/R: I/R rats that received canagliflozin 5 days prior to I/R. Evaluated parameters: renal function (serum creatinine [CrS], inulin clearance [inCl]; renal hemodynamics (mean arterial pressure [MAP], renal blood flow [RBF], renal vascular resistance [RVR]); redox profile (urinary peroxides, lipid peroxidation, urinary nitrate, renal tissue thiols and nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 [Nrf2] protein expression), western blot for identification of SGLT2 in the kidneys and renal histology.
