[Lipid peroxidation and tubular disorder in experimental acute renal failure-enzymochemical study in the rat kidney].

Abstract
Acute renal failure induced by the administration of gentamicin (GM) was studied enzymochemically in comparison with that in rats with tubular disorder resulting from postischemic reperfusion. Renal ischemia was caused by clamping the renal artery for 30 minutes to create complete ischemia and reflow. The activities of renal tissue glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) and the values to the renal contents of glutathione (GSH) and malondialdehyde (MDA) were measured in each sample. In order to confirm whether GSH plays an important role in the intrinsic anti-oxidant system in this model, buthionine sulfoximine (BSO), which is a gamma-glutamylcysteine synthetase inhibitor, was administered intraperitoneally to decrease the renal GSH content before the procedure in renal ischemia. On the other hand, the GM-induced ARF model was made by injection with GM 100 mg/kg during a period of 5 days. In the GM group, a significant increase in MDA and a reduction in the sphigomyelin (SPH)/phosphatidylcholine (PC) ratio and inactivation of PLA2 were observed. In the kidney tissue obtained 15 min. after reperfusion, the renal content of MDA was elevated markedly in the BSO-preadministered group. A reduction of SPH/PC ratio was also observed in the reperfusion model. PAL2 hydrolyzes the acyl group at the 2-position containing much of the highly unsaturated fatty acids that are easily oxidized. Further, PLA2 is considered to act directly on one of PC or phosphatidylinositol. Phospholipidosis thesauruses, noted in acute renal failure induced by GM, is considered to be caused by reduced liberation of lysosomal intramembranous phospholipid into the cytoplasm and accelerated peroxidation of intramembranous lipid.
