Abstract:Abstract:Objective To explore the effect of compound active tea of Lithocarpus litseifolius on uric acid and kidney function on mice with hyperuricemia nephropathy , and to provide experimental basis for the development of hyperuricemia nephropathy drugs and functional food. Methods The mouse model of hyperuricemia nephropathy was established by potassium oxyoxide with adenine. Mice were randomly divided into normal group, model group, benbromarone positive drug group (10 mg?kg-1?d-1), and Compound active tea of Lithocarpus litseifolius high,middle, low-dose groups (10g?kg-1?d-1,3.33g?kg-1?d-1,1.11g?kg-1?d-1).1h after the last dose, urine protein (UP) was measured by CBB method,urea nitrogen (UUN) was measured by the urease method;Blood was collected for uric acid (UA) by enzyme ratio method and urea nitrogen (BUN) by urease method;the serum content of interleukin cells 6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor(TNF-α) was measured byeuzymelinked immunosorbent assay;uate transporter 1 (URAT1) and glucose transporter 9 (GLUT9) in mouse kidneys were measured by quantitative fluorescence analysis.Kidney tissues were harvested and histopathological changes were observed by HE staining.Results Compared with the normal group,the UP, UUN, UA, BUN, IL,URAT1 and ULUT9 of model group mice were significant increased (P<0.01),TNF-α was increased (P<0.05),the renal tissue structure was normal.Compared with the model group,the UP,UUN,UA,BUN of benbromarone positive drug group were significant decreased(P<0.01),IL-6 and TNF-α were decreased(P<0.05),URAT1 was increased(P<0.05),little glomerular atrophy and deformation in the kidney,kidney tubular dilatation was occasionally seen,and no inflammatory cell infiltration.Compared with the model group,the UP,UUN,UA,BUN,IL-6 and URAT1 of high-dose group of compound active tea of Lithocarpus litseifolius were significant decreased(P<0.01),TNF-α and GLUT9 levels were decreased(P <0.05);the UP, UA, UUN content , the levels of IL-6, URAT 1and GLUT9 of middle-dose group of compound active tea of Lithocarpus litseifolius were significant decreased(P<0.01),BUN together with reduced levels of TNF-α(P <0.05);the UP,UUN,UA,IL-6 and URAT1 of low-dose group of compound active tea of Lithocarpus litseifoliuswere significant decreased(P<0.01),BUN content and reduction of TNF-α and GLUT9 levels (P<0.05),the kidney condition of the mice in compound active tea of Lithocarpus litseifolius group was improved.Conclusion: the compound active tea of Lithocarpus litseifolius can reduce uric acid in mice with hyperuricemia nephropathy, and it has a certain protective effect on the kidney,the mechanism may be related to the inhibition of uric acid reabsorption, and the specific mechanism should be further investigated.
