Effect of <i>Hibiscus sabdariffa</i> L. on the Metabolism of Arachidonic Acid in the Isolated Kidney of a Rat Model of Metabolic Syndrome

The renal system is engaged in metabolic syndrome (MS) and metabolites of arachidonic acid (AA) participate in renal homeostasis and disruption of functionality. <i>Hibiscus sabdariffa</i> L (HSL) is used as a diuretic and could improve renal function. The aim of this study was to assess...

description The renal system is engaged in metabolic syndrome (MS) and metabolites of arachidonic acid (AA) participate in renal homeostasis and disruption of functionality. <i>Hibiscus sabdariffa</i> L (HSL) is used as a diuretic and could improve renal function. The aim of this study was to assess if treatment with HSL at 2% improves renal function in MS through the metabolites of AA. A total of 24 male Wistar rats were divided into four groups: Group 1, control (C); Group 2, MS with 30% sucrose in drinking water, Group 3, MS plus HSL infusion at 2% (MS+HSL); and Group 4, C+HSL. We evaluated the perfusion pressure changes (∆-PP), the activities of cyclooxygenases (COXs), the percentage of AA, the expressions of PLA<sub>2</sub>, COX2, COX1, 5-LOX, TAXS and CYP450, and the concentrations of prostaglandins in the kidney from rats with MS. There was a decrease in the ∆-PP, in the activities of COXs, and the expressions of COX2 and CYP450 (<i>p</i> ≤ 0.03, respectively)as well asPGE<sub>2</sub>, TxB<sub>2</sub>, and LKB<sub>4</sub> (<i>p</i> ≤ 0.01, respectively). However, the percentage of AA and expressions of PLA<sub>2</sub> and PGE1 (<i>p</i> = 0.01, respectively) were increased in C and MS+HSL. The HSL treatment improved the function and anatomical structure of the kidneys in the MS rats, through antioxidant molecules, and inhibited the pathways that metabolize the AA including that of PLA<sub>2</sub>, COX2, 5-LOX, TAXS, and CYP450 while favoring the COX1 pathway. This improves the vascular resistance of renal arterioles.
