ABSTRACT
Aim: Acute kidney injury is an
important public health problem
worldwide due to the significant
morbidities and the economic
burden it causes. We aimed to
investigate the effects of cannabinoid
receptor agonists and antagonists on
biochemical and histopathological
parameters in myoglobinuric acute
kidney injury (MAKI).
Methods:
Wistar rats were divided into seven
groups. Six groups underwent a 50%
glycerol injection to establish kidney
injury, while one group received
200
physiological saline (PS) injection to serve as a
control. Agonist (WIN55,212-2) and antagonist
(AM251 or SR144528) injections were
administered intraperitoneally at 60- and 75
minutes following glycerol injection. Serum and
urine samples were collected, and kidney tissues
were removed. Glutathione, malondialdehyde,
urea, creatinine, and sodium levels were assayed.
Histopathological evaluation was performed
semi-quantitatively on the hematoxylin eosinstained
sections.
Results: Serum creatinine
and urea levels were significantly higher in
all kidney injury groups compared to control.
Serum creatinine level was significantly lower
in the WIN+SR144528 group compared to
the AKI group. Histological damage score
was significantly lower in the WIN and
WIN+SR144528 groups compared to the AKI
group.
Conclusions: Blockade of cannabinoid
2 receptors improved kidney function and
histology against MAKI, while blockade of
cannabinoid 1 receptors caused negative results.
