Effects of subchronic exposure to cadmium on markers of proximal tubule damage. Urinary glucose (A), N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminidase (NAG) (B), and microalbuminuria (C) in control (CT), losartan (LOS), cadmium (Cd) and cadmium + losartan (Cd + LOS) groups. Co-treatment with LOS (Cd + LOS group) decreased microalbuminuria induced by cadmium (Cd group). Urinary glucose (A) and NAG (B) did not change in the all experimental groups. Data are means ± SEM. n = 9–10 rats per group. aP < 0.05 vs CT, bP < 0.05 vs LOS, dP < 0.05 vs Cd + LOS. Urinary glucose and microalbuminuria were analyzed with one way ANOVA and Bonferroni’s multiple comparison tests; urinary NAG was analyzed with Kruskal-Wallis and Dunn’s multiple comparison tests.
