Protective effects of dapagliflozin against CI-AKI. Dapagliflozin decreased (A) serum levels and (B) blood urea nitrogen in CI-AKI rats. C, Histological injury scoring at 24 hours after the intravenous injection of iohexol. D, Representative histological image of kidney from representative photomicrographs of tubular cell injury in rat kidney tissue sections. Dapagliflozin significantly attenuated the renal tubular injury at 24 hours after the injection of iohexol. Rats in the DCM and DDCM groups were sequentially injected in the tail vein: indomethacin (10 mg/kg), followed by L-NAME (100 mg/kg) and iohexol (3.5 g/kg) 15 and 30 minutes later. Dapagliflozin was administered to rats in the DDCM group. Original magnification: ×200. H&E staining. *P < 0.05 versus the DCM group; #P < 0.05 versus the D group, n = 5 in each group. The values shown are the mean ± SD. C, control group; D, diabetic rats.
