Objective: To investigate the renoprotective, the antioxidant, and the anti-inflammatory impact of a combination of SPL and ZnO-NPs to combat against chronic kidney disease (CKD).
Methods: In total, 50 males of rats were distributed into 5 groups (10 rats each); normal group, adenine sulfate (0.25% in diet for 10 days) (CKD) group. After the last dose of adenine sulfate, rats were divided into three groups: SPL + Adenine sulfate group; rats were treated orally by mixing SPL (20 mg/kg/day) into chow for 8 weeks, ZnO-NPs + Adenine sulfate group; rats were injected intraperitoneally with ZnO-NPs (5 mg/kg) three times weekly for 8 weeks, ZnO-NPs + SPL + Adenine sulfate group; rats were injected with the same previous doses for 8 weeks.
Results: Each of SPL and ZnO-NPs up-regulated antioxidant genes ( and ), down-regulated fibrotic and inflammatory genes (, and ) compared to CKD. Furthermore, a combination of SPL and ZnO-NPs resulted in a greater improvement in the measured parameters than a single treatment.
Conclusion: The therapeutic role of SPL was enhanced by the antioxidant and the anti-inflammatory role of ZnO-NPs, which presented a great renoprotective effect against CKD.

In the present work, the properties of ZnO nanoparticles obtained using an eco-friendly synthesis (biomediated methods in microwave irradiation) were studied. extracts were used as both reducing and capping agents in the green nanochemistry synthesis of ZnO. Inorganic zinc oxide nanopowders were successfully prepared by a modified hydrothermal method and plant extract-mediated method.

This paper assessed the collagen glue (Col) from rabbit skin for use as a raw material in combination with different water-based dispersants of antimicrobial agents such as ZnO NPs, TiO NPs doped with nitrogen and Ag NPs (TiO-N-Ag NPs), and chitosan (CS) for the production of biocompatible and antimicrobial nanofibers. The electrospun nanofibers were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), attenuated total reflectance in conjunction with Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FT-IR) analyses and antioxidant activity. The biocompatibility of electrospun nanofibers was investigated on cell lines of mouse fibroblast NCTC ((clone L929) using MTT test assays.
