"Enhanced renal sympathetic nerve activity (RSNA) during ischemic period and the renal venous norepinephrine (NE) overflow after reperfusion play important roles in the development of ischemic/reperfusion (I/R)-induced acute renal failure (ARF) in rats. This study evaluated whether agmatine, which is known to reduce sympathetic nerve activity and NE overflow by electrical stimulation, would prevent the I/R-induced renal dysfunction," scientists in Osaka, Japan report.
"Ischemic ARF was induced by clamping the left renal artery and vein for 45 minutes followed by reperfusion 2 weeks after the contralateral nephrectomy. Intravenous (IV) injection of agmatine (100 and 300...
