Objective To observe effects of N-acetylcysteine on kidneys of diabetic rats. Methods 14 SD rats were i.p. injected with streptomycin(STZ) 60 mg8226;kg-1 and divided into two groups: the diabetic model group, the treatment group, which treated with N-acetylcysteine(125 mg8226;kg-18226;d-1), and another 7 normal rats as negative control. Kidney indext/body weight, blood glucose(BS), TC、TG、UAE、Ccr for 24 h were measured after 8 weeks. Meanwhile, MDA and TAOC were measured by a commercial kit. The glomerular structure was observed by PPAS staining and light microscopy. In addition, the expression of desmin in glomeruli were determined by immunohistochemistry. Results TC、UAE、Ccr、MDA in the treatment group were decreased significantly in comparison to the diabetic model group; however, TAOC increased markedly. The renal pathologic changes of the treatment group were improved as well, compared with those in the model group. Compared with the diabetic group, the desmin expression was reduced significantly in the treated group. Conclusion N-acetylcysteine delays the process of diabetic nephropathy, which could be related to attenuating glomeruli oxidative stress and,preventing podocyte damage.
