| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
There are significant sex difference in ischemic acute kidney injury (AKI). A selective endothelin (ET) A receptor antagonist showed renoprotective effects in male but not female AKI rats. In addition, there was a clear difference in the effects of selective ETA receptor antagonist depending on the presence or absence of female sex hormones, suggesting that ET-1/ETA receptor system is closely involved in the pathogenesis of AKI and sex difference in AKI. Furthermore, from the studies using ETB receptor-deficient rats, it became clear that ETB receptor also plays an important role in gender difference of AKI.
