Sitagliptin protects against bile duct ligation-induced cholemic nephropathy in male rats through modulation of inflammation, sestrin2, and the Nrf2/SOD pathway
Background and purpose: Cholestasis or bile duct ligation (BDL) could develop cirrhosis and may lead to other organ dysfunction, including the kidneys, which is called cholemic nephropathy (CN). Hyperbilirubinemia, bile acid accumulation, renal hypoperfusion, oxidative stress, and inflammation are implicated in the pat...
