Liraglutide and resveratrol alleviated cyclosporin A induced nephrotoxicity in rats through improving antioxidant status, apoptosis and pro-inflammatory markers.

The recent study delves into the role of both liraglutide and/or resveratrol on the nephropathic affection in rats treated with cyclosporine A (CsA). Rats were intoxicated with CsA (25 mg/kg) orally for 21 days and were supplemented with liraglutide (30 μg/kg) s/c daily and 20 mg/kg of resveratrol (20 mg/kg) orally. At the end of the experiment, serum samples and renal tissues were collected to determine renal damage markers, apoptotic markers, proinflammatory markers, and antioxidant status markers.
