March 5, 2026

Examination of the Effect of Riboflavin on TNF-α, Cas-3 Expression and SIRT1/p53/Bax/Bcl-2 Gene Expression in Diatrizoate-Induced Experimental Nephropathy Model.

Key Points

The research investigates how riboflavin affects inflammatory responses and gene expression related to kidney damage.
Experimental model using diatrizoate-induced nephropathy
Administration of riboflavin to assess protective effects
Analysis of TNF-α, Cas-3, and key gene expressions involved in apoptosis
Riboflavin administration reduced TNF-α levels, indicating lower inflammation
Decreased Cas-3 expression was observed, suggesting reduced apoptosis
SIRT1, p53, Bax, and Bcl-2 gene expression changes linked to improved renal function were documented.

Abstract

All these results suggest that DTZ-induced renal damage develops through oxidative stress, inflammation, and apoptosis mechanisms and that RF administration can protect renal function by suppressing these processes.
