ABSTRACT
Present study assessed the effect of benazepril on oxidative stress, serum lipids and renal dysfunction in alloxan induced diabetic rabbits. Benazepril reversed the increase in level of malondialdehyde and decrease in level of glutathione and superoxide dismutase activity caused by induction of diabetes. It also had a beneficial effect on diabetic dyslipidemia as manifested by elevation in serum HDL cholesterol. However, it had no effect on serum LDL, total cholesterol or triglycerides. Benazepril also attenuated the renal dysfunction induced by diabetes. It resulted in significant reduction in blood urea, serum creatinine and urine albumin excretion as compared to diabetic control rabbits. Further, kidney weight was significantly less in benazepril treated rabbits as compared to diabetic rabbits. To conclude, benazepril was found to be effective in preventing the oxidative stress and renal dysfunction as well as beneficial on serum lipids in experimentally-induced diabetes mellitus.
