Does icariin protect rats against 5/6 nephrectomy-induced chronic kidney failure by increasing the number of renal stem cells?
These data demonstrated that icariin effectively alleviated 5/6 nephrectomy induced chronic renal failure through increasing renal stem/progenitor cells.
We observed a hypotensive effect of ALA, which may constitute another mechanism accounting in part for the apparent cardioprotective effect of this n-3 fatty acid.
