Journal ArticleDOI
Erythropoietin protects against ischaemic acute renal injury
TL;DR: The results suggest that, in addition to its well-known erythropoietic effects, EPO inhibits apoptotic cell death, enhances tubular epithelial regeneration and promotes renal functional recovery in hypoxic or ischaemic acute renal injury.
Journal ArticleDOI
Delayed administration of darbepoetin or erythropoietin protects against ischemic acute renal injury and failure.
TL;DR: The results reaffirm the potential clinical application of DPO and EPO as novel renoprotective agents for patients at risk of ischemic acute renal failure or after having sustained an isChemic renal insult.
Journal ArticleDOI
Activation of ERK in renal fibrosis after unilateral ureteral obstruction: Modulation by antioxidants
TL;DR: Promotion of tubular epithelial proliferation and survival, and interstitial cell apoptosis, may minimize renal fibrosis after UUO.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bcl-2 genes and growth factors in the pathology of ischaemic acute renal failure.

TL;DR: In this article, the role of Bcl-2 genes in the apoptotic process in the kidney has been investigated and it has been shown that Bcl2 anti-apoptotic mechanism acts in these cells and an autocrine and/or paracrine growth factor mechanism is initiated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bcl-2 in endothelial cells is increased by vitamin E and α-lipoic acid supplementation but not exercise training
TL;DR: Investigation of the effects of antioxidant supplementation and/or exercise training on proteins that regulate apoptosis in endothelial cells found vitamin E and alpha-lipoic acid increase endothelial cell Bcl-2, which may provide increased protection against apoptosis.
