ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the protective effect of emodin on kidney damage in high-fat diet-induced obese mice. Methods Male C57bl/ 6 mice were divided into groups according to diet and treatment. Collagen Ⅳ(Col4), phosphatidylinositide 3-kinase(PI3K), phosphorylated phosphoinositol 3-kinase(p-PI3K), protein kinase (Akt), and phosphorylated protein kinase(p-Akt) were measured by Western blotting method. Results Col4 was increased, while p-PI3K and p-Akt were decreased in kidney tissue in high-fat diet-induced obese mice. However, there was lower level of Col4, but higher levels of p-PI3K and p-Akt in kidneys. Conclusion Kidney damage of high-fat diet-induced obese mice seems to be alleviated by emodin via improving insulin sensitivity.
