48. Nephroprotective effects of triterpenoid extracted from persimmon leaves (diospyros kaki l.F.) against Streptozotocin-induced diabetic nephropathy in type 2 diabetic mice
Main Article Content
Abstract
Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is a common complication in diabetic patients, characterized by a decline in kidney function. This study evaluated the nephroprotective effects of triterpenoid extract from persimmon leaves (Diospyros kaki L.f.) (Tri DKL) in type 2 diabetic mice with streptozotocin (STZ)-induced DN. Diabetic nephrotoxicity was induced in healthy Swiss mice through STZ injections (50 mg/kg). Mice were treated with Tri DKL at 250 mg/kg body weight (BW)/day or 750 mg/kg BW/day or dapagliflozin (1 mg/kg BW/day) for 28 days. Blood, urine, pancreas, and kidney samples were analyzed at the end of the study. The results showed that Tri DKL at 250 mg/kg BW/day and 750 mg/kg BW/day significantly increased urine output, glucose excretion, and creatinine clearance while slightly reducing urine protein and urine albumin and improving kidney histopathology. These findings suggest that Tri DKL exerts nephroprotective effects against STZ-induced DN.
