Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids alleviate adenine-induced chronic renal failure via regulating ROS production and TGF-β/SMAD pathway

OBJECTIVE: To explore the role of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (ω-3 PUFAs) in adenine-induced rat chronic renal failure and its underlying mechanism. MATERIALS AND METHODS: 30 Sprague Dawley (SD) rats were randomly assigned into three groups, namely sham group, adenine induction group (adenine group) and adenine induction + ω-3 PUFAs treatment group (ω-3 PUFAs group), … Continue reading Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids alleviate adenine-induced chronic renal failure via regulating ROS production and TGF-β/SMAD pathway
