NFKB1 and acute kidney injury: NaHS improved the oxidative stress parameters such as total superoxide dismutase (T-SOD), glutathione (GSH) and reduced the malondialdehyde (MDA) concentration along with reduction of NF-kB and ICAM-1 following renal IRI; Conclusions: These findings demonstrate that H2S not only reduced the severity of cisplatin induced ARF but also reduced the severity of renal IRI by upregulating antioxidants along with decreased concentrations of NF-kB and ICAM-1 in normotensive and L-NAME induced hypertensive rats.
