The effects of Vitamin C on urinary albumin excretion rate in rats with streptozotocin-induced diabetes
Objective: To investigate the effects of the different doses of vitamin C on urinary albumin excretion rate (UAER)in diabetic rats. Methods: The rats were randomly divided into following groups: group C
control group; group D
streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats; group DT1
diabetic rats treated with vitamin C 30 mg/kg/d ; group DT2
diabetic rats treated with vitamin C 90; and group DT
diabetic rats treated with vitamin C 270 mg/kg/d. UAER were measured at 1
2
4
6 and 8 weeks
respectively. The concentrations of vitamin C in plasma and kidney were determined at 9 week. Results: Compared with group C
the levels of vitamin C in the plasma and kidney of group D decreased significantly(P<0.05)
which could be normalized by supplementation with vitamin C in group DT1
DT2 and DT3. At 4
6 and 8 weeks
levels of UAER in the group DT1
DT2 and DT3 had markedly decreared compared with group D(P<0.05),and there were no significant difference among DT1
DT2 and DT3
respectively. Conclusion: UAER decreased significantly in diabetic rats that received vitamin C. Administration of vitamin C in diabetic patients may be beneficial in attenuating the progression of diabetic nephropathy.
