The results showed a marked increase of chemiluminescence which paralleled the increase of albuminuria. A superoxide dismutase (SOD) mimic, which enters easily into the cells was administred and a significant decrease of proteinuria was noted. Addition of SOD in vitro inhibited the enhanced chemiluminescence in rats administered with ADR. A slight glomerular cell increase, but no recruitment of leucocytes and/or monocytes/marcrophages, was observed. We therefore conclude that ADR-induced nephropathy is mainly due to ROS generation of intrinsic glomerular cells.}, pages = {63--66}, title = {Role of Reactive Oxygen Species in Adriamycin Induced Nephrosis}, volume = {39(Supplement)}, year = {1991} }
