Zucker rats of lean and obese phenotypes with normal renal function [control (C); C-lean and C-obese groups] and with uremia [5\/6 nephrectomy (Nx); Nx-lean and Nx-obese groups] and uremic rats treated with VitE (Nx-lean + VitE and Nx-obese + VitE groups) were studied. Uremic groups were subjected to Nx, fed a 0.9% phosphorus diet, and treated with calcitriol (80 ng\/kg ip). The aortic calcium concentration was significantly higher ( P &lt; 0.05) in Nx-obese rats (10.0 \u00b1 2.1 mg\/g tissue) than in Nx-lean rats (3.6 \u00b1 1.3 mg\/g tissue). A decrease in plasma glutathione peroxidase activity was observed in Nx-obese rats compared with Nx-lean rats (217.2 \u00b1 18.2 vs. 382.3 \u00b1 15.5 nmol\u00b7min<jats:sup>\u22121<\/jats:sup>\u00b7ml<jats:sup>\u22121<\/jats:sup>, P &lt; 0.05). Treatment with VitE restored glutathione peroxidase activity and reduced the aortic calcium concentration to 4.6 \u00b1 1.3 mg\/g tissue. The differences in mineral deposition between Nx-lean, Nx-obese, Nx-lean + VitE, and Nx-obese + VitE rats were also evidenced in other soft tissues. In HVSMCs incubated with high phosphate, VitE also prevented oxidative stress and reduced calcium content, bone alkaline phosphatase, and gene expression of core-binding factor-\u03b1<jats:sub>1<\/jats:sub>. In conclusion, uremic obese rats develop more severe calcifications than uremic lean rats and VitE reduces oxidative stress and vascular calcifications in both rats and cultures of HVSMCs. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1152\/ajprenal.00355.2013","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,12,27]],"date-time":"2013-12-27T01:59:03Z","timestamp":1388109543000},"page":"F422-F429","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":27,"title":["Vitamin E protection of obesity-enhanced vascular calcification in uremic rats"],"prefix":"10.1152","volume":"306","author":[{"given":"A.","family":"Peralta-Ram\u00edrez","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Departmento Medicina y Cirugia Animal, Universidad de Cordoba, Cordoba, Spain;"},{"name":"Escuela de Medicina Veterinaria, Universidad Nacional Aut\u00f3noma de Nicaragua, Leon, Nicaragua"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"A.","family":"Montes de Oca","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departmento Medicina y Cirugia Animal, Universidad de Cordoba, Cordoba, Spain;"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"A.
