Previous studies have shown a protective effect of simultaneous vitamin C administration on acute and chronic nickel toxicity. However, very little research relating to the effect of vitamin C pretreatment in preventing nickel-induced acute nephrotoxicity is available. Therefore, the present study aimed to determine the efficiency of vitamin C (VC) pretreatment in preventing acute renal toxicity of nickel. Mice were pretreated orally with vitamin C (16.6 mg kg<jats:sup>-1<\/jats:sup> body weight, b.w.) for seven consecutive days, prior to intraperitoneal (i.p.) administration of nickel chloride at different doses (3, 5, and 10 mg Ni kg<jats:sup>-1<\/jats:sup> b.w.) for an exposure period of 24 hours. Thereafter, animals were killed and kidney tissue and blood samples were taken for histological examination and biochemical marker analyses. Vitamin C pretreatment alone did not alter the levels of serum kidney markers (creatinine, urea, and uric acid). However, treatment with Ni alone showed a significant increase in the levels of serum creatinine, urea, and uric acid with marked necrotic epithelial cells and infiltration by inflammatory cells in kidney sections as compared to the control group. Pretreatment with vitamin C and treatment with Ni at all doses tested for 24 hours showed a significant decrease in the levels of serum creatinine, urea, and uric acid, as well as an improvement in histological changes compared to those previously seen in the group treated with Ni alone. It is concluded that vitamin C pretreatment effectively improved renal function and tissue damage caused by nickel.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1515\/aiht-2016-67-2753","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,10,17]],"date-time":"2016-10-17T07:47:40Z","timestamp":1476690460000},"page":"210-215","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Vitamin C pretreatment protects from nickel-induced acute nephrotoxicity in mice"],"prefix":"10.1515","volume":"67","author":[{"given":"Imed-Eddine","family":"Kadi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biochemistry and Microbiology, Faculty of Sciences, Mohamed Boudiaf M\u2019Sila University, Algeria"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Faouzi","family":"Dahdouh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biochemistry and Microbiology, Faculty of Sciences, Mohamed Boudiaf M\u2019Sila University, 28000, Algeria"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"374","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,10,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"2021040806224495495_j_aiht-2016-67-2753_ref_001_w2aab2b8c20b1b7b1ab1ab1Aa","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"1.
