| Research Abstract |
In the present study, we investigated pathological mechanisms of kidney diseases in dogs and cats, especially involvement of cyclooxygenase (COX) and renin-angiotensin (RA) system. Results from pathological investigation demonstrated close and complicated relationships between renal COX and RA system and progression of the kidney diseases, and such mechanisms were clearly differentbetween dogs and cats. Investigation using model mice demonstrated the renoprotective effect of piroxicam (COX inhibitor), and it was suggested that such renoprotective effect was induced from the downregulation of TGF-beta.
