Anti-inflammatory and nephroprotective activity of Juglans mollis against renal ischemia–reperfusion damage in a Wistar rat model

Background Oxidative stress and the inflammatory process are involved in ischemia–reperfusion (I/R) injury. Juglans mollis has been reported as having antioxidant activity, which could attenuate the damage caused by I/R. We evaluated whether a methanolic extract of Juglans mollis (JM) exhibits nephroprotective activity in a Wistar rat model of I/R injury.
