Oxygen deficiency, defined as hypoxia, elicits adaptive responses in cells and tissues. Lower oxygen concentration can cause the alteration of renal function, affects the maintenance of a balance of the body fluids, electrolytes, pH, and blood pressure homeostasis. Impaired fluid regulation could, in addition, contribute to the precipitation of pulmonary edema and exacerbate hypoxemia which may accelerate the progression of chronic kidney disease. In this context, the present study attempted to evaluate the association of renal injury and oxidative stress at different atmospheric pressures (1829, 3657, and 5486 m). Limited fecal analysis of experimental animals was also done to evaluate the impact of hypobaric hypoxia on the composition of dominant gastrointestinal microbiota. The study was performed on 24 male Wister strain rats and divided into four groups (C, HA-I, HA-II, and HA-III), and exposure was carried out for seven days period. In hypoxic exposure rats, plasma urea, creatinine, electrolytes and malonaldehyde level elevated and catalase and superoxide dismutase level diminished significantly compared to the controls. Increase in blood uremia profile, toxicity markers, and lipid peroxidation marker enzymes indicated that hypoxia causes renal failure. Histological structures of the kidney of group HA-II and HA-III animals showed severe disorganization of glomerulus and dilation of renal tubules. These results indicate nephrotoxicity or acute renal failure can occur at hypobaric hypoxia and it also affected the gut microbial population. This alteration was observed significantly above 3000 m.

In development and progression of kidney disease research, it is necessary to have a suitable common drug to induce uremia and renal failure of rats. It is also required to select the threshold doses for the said drug; a therapeutic dose and toxic dose for kidney failure using standard guidelines. An acute toxicity of acetaminophen was conducted by the limit test at a dose of 2000 mg kgG 1 b.wt., on either sex rats (n = 5) and a main test was conducted by a dose progression factor of 3.2 times as per Organization of Economic CoOperation and Development guidelines 425. Eighteen male albino rats (n = 18) were divided into three groups, group I served as control, groups II and III rats were administered 175 mg and 550 mg kgG 1 b.wt., acetaminophen intraperitoneally for 14 days, respectively. Different parameters were considered to analyze renal failure. Urea, creatinine, GOT, GPT and MDA levels were increased significantly (p<0.05) in group III, compared to groups I and II. Antioxidant enzymes like SOD, catalase and GSH level were decreased significantly (p<0.05) in group III rats, compared to group I and II rats. Increase in blood uremia profile indicated that the higher dose of acetaminophen causes uremia. Increase in the toxicity markers and lipid peroxidation marker enzymes indicate the nephrotoxicity. Histological structures of kidney of group III animals showed a severe disorganization of glomerulus and dilation of renal tubules. These results indicate that intraperitoneal injection of acetaminophen at high dose causes nephrotoxicity and renal cellular damage to experimental rats.

In development and progression of kidney disease research, it is necessary to have a suitable common drug to induce uremia and renal failure of rats. It is also required to select the threshold doses for the said drug; a therapeutic dose and toxic dose for kidney failure using standard guidelines. An acute toxicity of acetaminophen was conducted by the limit test at a dose of 2000 mg kgG 1 b.wt., on either sex rats (n = 5) and a main test was conducted by a dose progression factor of 3.2 times as per Organization of Economic CoOperation and Development guidelines 425. Eighteen male albino rats (n = 18) were divided into three groups, group I served as control, groups II and III rats were administered 175 mg and 550 mg kgG 1 b.wt., acetaminophen intraperitoneally for 14 days, respectively. Different parameters were considered to analyze renal failure. Urea, creatinine, GOT, GPT and MDA levels were increased significantly (p<0.05) in group III, compared to groups I and II. Antioxidant enzymes like SOD, catalase and GSH level were decreased significantly (p<0.05) in group III rats, compared to group I and II rats. Increase in blood uremia profile indicated that the higher dose of acetaminophen causes uremia. Increase in the toxicity markers and lipid peroxidation marker enzymes indicate the nephrotoxicity. Histological structures of kidney of group III animals showed a severe disorganization of glomerulus and dilation of renal tubules. These results indicate that intraperitoneal injection of acetaminophen at high dose causes nephrotoxicity and renal cellular damage to experimental rats.

The ability to scavenge a,a-Diphenyl-b-Picrylhydrazyl free radical ranged from 71 and 64% in intact cells and CFCS respectively. Total reducing activity of bacteria was equivalent to 290 microM/L of cysteine. Reducing glutathione activity was equivalent to 93.95 microg/mL. Oral administration of the strain at a dose of 10(9) cfu/kg body weight to acetaminophen induced oxidative stress in rats increased catalase, glutathione and superoxide dismutase activity in the blood, liver and kidney and lowered malondialdehyde level. The results indicate that L. ingluviei ADK10 has potential free radical scavenging activity for the treatment of oxidative stress related disease.

For phytochemical screening, some common and available standard tests were done. Antimicrobial bioassay was done through agar well diffusion method. Detection of antioxidant activity and flavonoid compounds were done through thin layer chromatography. Total antioxidant activity was measured by 2, 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) in colorimetric method. Aluminum chloride colorimetric method was used for total flavonoid determination. Phytochemical screening showed the active compounds presence in high concentration, such as phytosterol, lactones, flavonoids, phenolic compounds and tannins and glycosides. The antimicrobial activity of extract showed that greater inhibition zone against Gram negative bacteria than Gram positive bacteria. This methanolic extract showed a pro...
