However, their effects on the progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD) remain unknown. The aim of this study was to assess the effects of feeding ARA, DHA, and ARA and DHA-containing diets on rats with 5\/6 nephrectomized kidneys. Urine and feces were collected every 4 weeks, and the kidneys were collected at 16 weeks after surgery. Urinary albumin (U-ALB) excretion increased gradually with nephrectomy, but the U-ALB excretion was attenuated by feeding the rats with an ARA + DHA-containing diet. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels in the kidneys were lower in the ARA + DHA group than in the other groups. At 4 weeks after surgery, the lipid peroxide (LPO) levels in the plasma of the ARA + DHA groups decreased significantly after surgery compared to the control CKD group, but this did not happen at 16 weeks post-surgery. There was a significant negative correlation between LPO levels in the plasma at 4 weeks and creatinine clearance, and a positive correlation with urinary albumin levels. These results suggest that the combination of ARA and DHA inhibit the progress of early stage CKD.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/md19120692","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,5]],"date-time":"2021-12-05T21:01:45Z","timestamp":1638738105000},"page":"692","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Influence of Polyunsaturated Fatty Acid Intake on Kidney Functions of Rats with Chronic Renal Failure"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"19","author":[{"given":"Hiroki","family":"Muramatsu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Nutritional Physiology, Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Faculty of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Josai University, Sakado 350-0295, Saitama, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Naoe","family":"Akimoto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Nutritional Physiology, Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Faculty of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Josai University, Sakado 350-0295, Saitama, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3726-4347","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Michio","family":"Hashimoto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, Shimane University, Izumo 693-8501, Shimane, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1332-2001","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kenji","family":"Sugibayashi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Nutritional Physiology, Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Faculty of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Josai University, Sakado 350-0295, Saitama, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2237-9651","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Masanori","family":"Katakura","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Nutritional Physiology, Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Faculty of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Josai University, Sakado 350-0295, Saitama, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"710","DOI":"10.1038\/ki.2008.319","article-title":"The aging kidney","volume":"74","author":"Zhou","year":"2008","journal-title":"Kidney Int."},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1263","DOI":"10.1007\/s10157-019-01786-7","article-title":"New measures against chronic kidney diseases in Japan since 2018","volume":"23","author":"Fukui","year":"2019","journal-title":"Clin.
