Abstract

Introduction: Galangin (3,5,7 tri-hydroxy flavone), naturally active flavonoid is derived from the rhizomes of Alpinia officinarum is proven to be effective antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer. However, protective effects of galangin in chronic renal failure (CRF) is not explored.

Objectives: This study is aimed to investigate the nephroprotective activity of galangin in adenine-induced CRF rats.

Materials and Methods: Adenine induced rats were administered galangin 20 mg/kg and 40 mg/kg body weight (BW) serum renal and hepatic parameters, and renal antioxidant-lipid peroxidation parameters, histological studies were carried out. The mechanism of action was investigated by flow cytometry.

Results: Galangin has normalized serum renal and hepatic parameters, reduced oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation. Histopathology confirms nephroprotection. The percentage number of cells expressing transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) was reduced with galangin treatment.

Conclusion: Galangin exerts nephroprotection in adenine induced CRF by inhibiting TGF-β expression.


Implication for health policy/practice/research/medical education:

The data suggests that galangin administration in rats has reduced the progression of chronic renal failure in adenine induced CRF. Thus, it can be a useful alternate or adjunct in CRF.
