Alpha-Lipoic Acid Attenuates Renal Injury in Rats with Obstructive Nephropathy

Table 1

Kidney weight/body weight ratio.

Group	Kidney weight/body weight (×100)
	Contralateral kidney	Obstructed kidney
Sham	0.44 ± 0.02	0.42 ± 0.02
UUO	0.49 ± 0.02	0.63±0.02^#∗∗
UUO + ALA	0.48 ± 0.02	0.52±0.03^∗†

Values are mean ± SEM from 10 rats in each group. UUO: unilateral ureteral obstruction, UUO + ALA: unilateral ureteral obstruction plus alpha-lipoic acid, ^#𝑃<0.001 versus contralateral kidney within the group, ^∗𝑃<0.05, ^∗∗𝑃<0.001 versus sham, ^†𝑃<0.01 versus UUO.
