Despite the reports on safety concerns regarding the relationship between aluminum salts and neurological and bone disease, many countries continue to use aluminum as phosphate binders among patients with renal failure. In search for a diet supplement that could reduce aluminum toxicity related to renal failure, we carried out this prospective animal study in which the fenugreek seeds were assessed for their effects on rats nephrotoxicity induced by aluminum chloride (AlCl3). Oral AlCl3 administration during 5 months (500 mg/kg bw i.g for one month then 1600 ppm via drinking water) led to plasma biochemical changes, an inhibition of alkaline phosphatase (ALP), a decrease of total antioxidant status (TAS), and an induction of lipid peroxidation (LPO) in the blood and brain, in addition to kidney atrophy and morphological alterations at the level of Bowman's capsule, the glomerulus and different sorts of tubules, reminiscent of some known kidney disease. The treatment with the whole fenugreek seed powder (FSP) (5% in the diet) during the last 2 months showed its effectiveness in restoring normal plasma values of urea, creatinine, ALP and glucose, as well as re-increasing the TAS, inhibiting LPO and alleviating histopathological changes in the injured kidneys. This study highlights the induced nephrotoxicicity, as well as the related toxicity in the brain and bone, by chronic oral ingestion of the aluminum salts. However, the maintenance of a diet supplemented with fenugreek seeds could offer protection for the kidney, bone and brain, at the same time.
尽管有报道称铝盐与神经和骨骼疾病之间存在安全问题,但许多国家仍继续将铝盐用作肾衰竭患者的磷酸盐结合剂。为了寻找一种可以降低与肾衰竭相关的铝毒性的饮食补充剂,我们进行了这项前瞻性动物研究,评估了胡芦巴种子对氯化铝(AlCl3)诱导的大鼠肾毒性的影响。在 5 个月的时间内(口服 500mg/kg bw 的 AlCl3 一个月,然后通过饮用水摄入 1600ppm 的 AlCl3),口服 AlCl3 导致了血浆生化变化、碱性磷酸酶(ALP)活性抑制、总抗氧化状态(TAS)降低和血液和大脑中的脂质过氧化(LPO)诱导,此外还导致肾脏萎缩和Bowman 囊、肾小球和各种肾小管的形态改变,类似于一些已知的肾脏疾病。在最后 2 个月用全胡芦巴种子粉(FSP)(饮食中 5%)治疗显示出其恢复尿素、肌酐、ALP 和葡萄糖的正常血浆值的有效性,同时还增加了 TAS、抑制了 LPO 并减轻了受损肾脏的组织病理学变化。这项研究强调了慢性口服铝盐引起的肾毒性,以及相关的脑和骨骼毒性。然而,维持补充胡芦巴种子的饮食可能同时为肾脏、骨骼和大脑提供保护。
