We investigated the possible role of reactive oxygen species (ROS) on renal function in experimental diabetes. METHODS Seven groups of male rats were studied. Group I consisted of control animals. Diabetes was induced (by streptozotocin) in the animals in the other groups and they received either insulin or vitamin E (300 or 600 mg/kg), both insulin and vitamin E, or no treatment for 4 weeks. At the end of the study, blood pressure was measured and parameters of kidney function and oxidative stress were evaluated in serum and kidney tissue samples. RESULTS Diabetic animals had higher blood pressures; increased serum glucose, urea, creatinine, cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP); increased kidney tissue levels of malondialdehyde and inducible nitric oxide synthetase (iNOS); and reduced serum glutathione peroxidase when compared with control animals. Blood glucose levels in diabetic animals were controlled by insulin and not by any dose of vitamin E alone. However, all other measured parameters improved towards control levels with either insulin or vitamin E in either dose. An additive beneficial effect was observed on the levels of iNOS and cGMP when both forms of treatment were used in diabetic animals. CONCLUSIONS We conclude that ROS may play an important role in diabetes-induced nephropathy in this rat model. Vitamin E supplementation in addition to insulin can have additive protective effects against deterioration of renal function in this model.

D007328 Insulin A 51-amino acid pancreatic hormone that plays a major role in the regulation of glucose metabolism, directly by suppressing endogenous glucose production (GLYCOGENOLYSIS; GLUCONEOGENESIS) and indirectly by suppressing GLUCAGON secretion and LIPOLYSIS. Native insulin is a globular protein comprised of a zinc-coordinated hexamer. Each insulin monomer containing two chains, A (21 residues) and B (30 residues), linked by two disulfide bonds. Insulin is used as a drug to control insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (DIABETES MELLITUS, TYPE 1).

D006152 Cyclic GMP Guanosine cyclic 3',5'-(hydrogen phosphate). A guanine nucleotide containing one phosphate group which is esterified to the sugar moiety in both the 3'- and 5'-positions. It is a cellular regulatory agent and has been described as a second messenger. Its levels increase in response to a variety of hormones, including acetylcholine, insulin, and oxytocin and it has been found to activate specific protein kinases.
