The cirrhotic kidney can be successfully transplanted into healthy recipients. The histological lesions have not been well defined or correlated with the functional changes observed in cirrhosis. Methods to induce experimental cirrhosis in the rat that reliably reproduce this disease have been developed. The development of microsurgical techniques have made it possible to perform transplantation in the rat. We analyzed the renal lesions of cirrhotic rats and the evolution of the graft after transplantation into a healthy rat.

Background: Doxorubicin (DOX) is a widely used anticancer drug; However, its nephrotoxicity limits its therapeutic efficacy. This study investigates the protective effects of Perilla Alcohol (PA) against DOX-induced nephrotic syndrome (NS), focusing on its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties through the nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) and nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-κB) pathways.
Methods: A DOX-induced nephrotic syndrome (NS) rat model and a DOX-treated Mouse Podocyte Cell line 5 (MPC5) cell model were used to evaluate the renal protective effects of PA.

Background: The pathogenesis of acute kidney injury (AKI) is not fully understood. Tax1-binding protein 1 (TAX1BP1) modulates inflammation and apoptosis through the NF-kB signaling pathway, however, its specific role in ischemic AKI remains unclear.
Methods: We injected a TAX1BP1 overexpression plasmid into the tail vein of male C57BL/6 mice, followed by clamping the bilateral renal arteries to induce AKI.

The high prevalence of type 2 diabetes and atherosclerosis makes essential the availability of in vivo experimental models that accurately replicate the pathophysiological mechanisms of these diseases. Apolipoprotein E knockout mice (ApoE) have been used in atherosclerosis studies, and the db/db mice show hyperphagia and obesity. Mice harbouring both alterations (i.
