NGAL protects against endotoxin-induced renal tubular cell damage by suppressing apoptosis

Abstract Background We sought to confirm that neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) protects against apoptosis during endotoxemia. Methods Endotoxemia was induced in rats with lipopolysaccharide (LPS; 3.5 mg/kg) and serum creatinine (SCr), urinary NGAL (uNGAL), renal histopathology confi...
