Increased Excretion of Urinary 20-HETE in Rats With Cyclosporine-Induced Nephrotoxicity

The present study examined the contribution of 20-hydroxy-5,8,11,14-eicosatetraenoic acid (20-HETE) in cyclosporine A (CsA)-induced renal nephrotoxicity. Treatment of rats with CsA (50 mg/kg) for 9 days induced renal damage as indicated by marked increase in urine flow (from 9.0 ± 0.3 ml/day to 46.6...
