To study the effect of chronic treatment with chaethomellic acid (CA), a highly specific inhibitor of ras farnesyl-protein transferase, on the renal function of rats with renal failure induced by renal mass reduction. Male Wistar rats were subjected to 5/6 nephrectomy (RMR) or sham-operated (SO). One week after surgery, rats have been placed in four experimental groups: RMR: rats without treat- ment (n=13); RMR...

A doença renal crónica está associada com o desenvolvimento de anemia devido principalmente à diminuição da produção de eritropoetina. O ácido quetomélico (AC) é um potente inibidor seletivo da farnesil transferase e, desta forma, inibe as vias de sinalização que levam à progressão da fibrose renal. Assim, o objectivo deste trabalho foi o de estudar os efeitos do tratamento crónico com o AC nas alterações hemat...
