Beneficial cardio-renovascular effects of a low-molecular-weight heparin-derivative on adriamycin-induced glycosaminoglycanuria and tissue lipid abnormalities.

Abstract：

:The present work includes a study on the glycosaminoglycanuric condition induced by adriamycin (ADR, a chemotherapeutic agent) and the accompanying secondary hyperlipidemia, wherein the treatment with a low-molecular-weight heparin-derivative (LMWH), certoparin, is evaluated for its protective role (if any) on these parameters. Two groups of male albino rats of the Wistar strain (140+/-10 g) received a single intravenous injection of adriamycin (7.5 mg/kg), and one of these groups was treated with a low-molecular-weight heparin-derivative (Certoparin Sodium, Troparin; 300 microg/day/rat s.c.), commencing on day 8, for a week. Urinary total glycosaminoglycans excretion of the untreated ADR-induced group was found to increase on the 8th and the 15th days of observation, when compared with the controls. The LMWH treatment commencing on day 8 resulted in minimising the glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) excretion by day 15 (p<0.001). Plasma, cardiac, hepatic and renal lipids (cholesterol, triglycerides and phospholipids) showed a sharp increase in the pathologic group, along with a rise in plasma LDL and VLDL cholesterol and drop in HDL cholesterol levels, paralleled by abnormal activities of the enzymes involved in lipid metabolism. LMWH treated group showed a normalised lipid profile and the activities of the lipid-metabolising enzymes was close to that of controls. It is concluded herein that adriamycin administration resulted in severe nephropathy manifested by increased glycosaminoglycanuria and abnormal lipid metabolism, and that LMWH treatment afforded substantial protection by restoring glomerular structure and function, and normalised the plasma and tissue lipid levels, lipoprotein profile and the activities of lipid-metabolising enzymes.
