The Nephroprotective Effect of Lycopene on Renal Ischemic Reperfusion Injury: A Mouse Model.

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is characterized by fast decline in renal function within a short period of time. Renal ischemic-reperfusion (I-R) injury is the main cause of AKI. This study aims to investigate the possible nephroprotective effect of lycopene on renal ischemic-reperfusion injury in mice model.
