The antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities of avasopasem manganese in age-associated, cisplatin-induced renal injury

Abstract

Older mice and humans are more susceptible to cisplatin-induced kidney injury, and treatment with AVA mitigates age-associated damage. Mitochondrial ETC and NOX4 activities represent sources of superoxide production contributing to cisplatin-induced kidney injury, and pro-inflammatory cytokine production and endothelial dysfunction may also be increased by superoxide formation.
