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

Table 2

Blood urea nitrogen and serum creatinine.

Group	Blood urea nitrogen; (mg/dL)	Serum creatinine; (mg/dL)
Sham	22.87 ± 0.59	0.49 ± 0.03
UUO	33.13±0.51^∗∗	0.98±0.09^∗∗
UUO + ALA	26.19±0.51^∗†	0.62±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 < 0.01, **P < 0.001 versus sham, ^†P < 0.001 versus UUO.
