Melittin Ameliorates Endotoxin-Induced Acute Kidney Injury by Inhibiting Inflammation, Oxidative Stress, and Cell Death in Mice

Figure 8

Schematic summary of the results of the present study. LPS-induced renal injury was dampened by melittin. These protective effects of the peptide were attributed to inhibition of inflammation, oxidative damage, and apoptotic and necroptotic death of tubular epithelial cells.
