Research Abstract

In this study, we created an infusible emulsion of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), and investigated the effect of the emulsion against cisplatin-induced acute renal failure model of rats. However, there were no beneficial effect of the emulsion in the model. We also investigated the effect of DHA emulsion against nephrotoxic serum nephritis model of rats. After the administration of the emulsion, the levels of protein excretion of urine were decreased in the rats. These results suggest that DHA emulsion might be beneficial effects for the renal disease.
