..., this association has received little attention in HD patients to date. In the setting of a randomised controlled trial we evaluated the relationships between baseline complement levels and subsequent CV events and mortality, in addition to the effects of HD with a vitamin E (VE)-coated dialysis membrane...

...U. Buoncristiani; F. Galli; S. Rovidati; M.C. Albertini; G. Campus; F. Canestrari A comparison of the oxyradical exposure during hemodialysis (HD) carried out with vitamin-E-modified cellulose (CL-E) or conventional membranes, studying red blood cell (RBC) and plasma lipoperoxidation and RBC...

...R. Selvam; M. Adhirai The in vivo effect of cyclosporin A (CsA) on renal calcium oxalate (CaOx) crystal retention in experimental hyperoxaluric rats was investigated. Further, the effect of pretreatment of vitamin E on the above conditions was also studied. Male Wistar rats were divided into two...

... and this conversion is mediated specifically by hydroxyl radicals. We investigated the production of creatol and MG from creatinine in rats with renal failure induced by the lipid peroxide produced as a consequence of vitamin E deficiency and depletion of the reduced form of glutathione (GSH). In addition, we...

...Luigi Triolo; Silvio Lippa; Alessandro Oradei; Pasquale De Sole; Roberto Mori In a group of 48 chronic hemodialysis patients, serum levels of coenzyme Q10 (CoQ) have been measured and appeared abnormally low in 62% of cases. Figures were positively correlated to those of serum vitamin E (vit E...

...Keiji Ono In order to clarify the effect of vitamin E (α-tocopherol) on anemia and the osmotic fragility of red blood cells (RBC) plasma and RBC levels of vitamin E were measured in 30 regular dialysis patients before and after oral supplementation of vitamin E, 600 mg daily for 30 days. Plasma...

... activation by comparing a vitamin E modified membrane (CLEE) and a regular cellulose membrane (CLSS). Methods: (1) CLSS and CLEE membranes were used in a crossover clinical study in 7 chronic hemodialysis patients. Neutropenia, CD11b expression, and plasma C3a and myeloperoxidase concentrations were compared...

... is to evaluate the effects of pentoxifylline and vitamin E on the prevention of experimental acute renal failure induced by glycerol. Eighty-five Sprague-Dawley rats weighing 170–230 g were included in the study. The rats were randomly divided into four groups: group 1 was given 1 ml saline; group 2, glycerol...

...M. Görgün; D. Erdogan; G. Abban; N. Türközkan; Ş. Elbeg It is known that Adriamycin, which is widely used in the treatment of various neoplastic conditions, exerts toxic effects in several organs. In this study, we have established that vitamin E has some beneficial effects on the kidney...

..., and the MDA levels increased as compared with controls. Vitamin (vitamin E plus C combination) pretreatment ameliorated antioxidant defense potential in part, prevented increases in MDA levels in the ESWL-treated tissues, and increased the antioxidant defense potential in the control kidney tissues. After...
