probucol and Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis

probucol has been researched along with Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis in 5 studies

Probucol: A drug used to lower LDL and HDL cholesterol yet has little effect on serum-triglyceride or VLDL cholesterol. (From Martindale, The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 30th ed, p993).
probucol : A dithioketal that is propane-2,2-dithiol in which the hydrogens attached to both sulfur atoms are replaced by 3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl groups. An anticholesteremic drug with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, it is used to treat high levels of cholesterol in blood.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" In the present study we examined whether lipid-soluble antioxidants, probucol and vitamin E, could inhibit renal injury in rats with chronic puromycin aminonucleoside (PA) nephrosis and dietary hypercholesterolemia by protecting lipoproteins from oxidation."3.69Dietary antioxidant inhibits lipoprotein oxidation and renal injury in experimental focal segmental glomerulosclerosis. ( Chung, HK; Jeong, JY; Kim, BC; Kim, YS; Lee, HS; Zhang, YZ, 1997)
"Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis is a steroid-resistant glomerular disease characterized by foot process flattening and heavy proteinuria."1.30Glomerular overproduction of oxygen radicals in Mpv17 gene-inactivated mice causes podocyte foot process flattening and proteinuria: A model of steroid-resistant nephrosis sensitive to radical scavenger therapy. ( Binder, CJ; Exner, M; Kerjaschki, D; Weiher, H, 1999)
"Probucol treatment significantly reduced the lipid concentration in all major lipoproteins, significantly reduced proteinuria and increased plasma albumin concentration."1.28Treatment of hyperlipidemia with probucol suppresses the development of focal and segmental glomerulosclerosis in chronic aminonucleoside nephrosis. ( Hirano, T; Morohoshi, T, 1992)
