초록 Objectives: The present study investigated the impact of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONPs) on serum parameters of renal function, on oxidative stress markers (malondialdehyde [MDA] and 8-isoprostane), and on expression level of  insulin receptor, glucose transporter 2 (GLUT2), glucokinase genes and heat-shock proteins (HSPs) in rats. Methods: Male Wistar rats (n=64, 10 weeks old) were divided into four groups. Group 1 received a standard diet (12% of calories as fat). Group 2 received a standard diet, plus ZnONPs; received a single daily oral dose of ZnONPs  of 100 mg/kg in suspension. Group 3 received a high-fat diet (40% of calories as fat) for 2 weeks, and was then injected with streptozotocin (STZ) on day 14 (STZ, 40 mg/kg intraperitoneally). Group 4 was treated in the same way as group 3 (HFD/STZ), but was supplemented with ZnONPs  100mg /kg/body weight/day. Oxidative stress in the kidneys of diabetic rats was evidenced by an elevation in levels of MDA and 8-isoprostane. Protein concentrations of insulin receptor, GLUT2,  glucokinase genes and heat-shock (HSP60 and HSP70)  in renal tissue were determined by Western blot analyses. Results: ZnONPs  supplementation lowered kidney concentrations of MDA, 8-isoprostane levels, serum urea-N, and creatinine, and reduced the severity of renal damage in the STZ-treated group (i.e., the diabetes-induced group). The expression of  insulin receptor, GLUT-2 , glucokinase genes  and HSPs was lower in the STZ group that received ZnONPs  than in the group that did not. No significant effect of ZnONPs  supplementation was detected in regard to the overall measured parameters in the control group. Conclusions: This study supported the efficacy of ZnONPs  in reducing renal risk factors and impairment because of diabetes and act as potent antidiabetic agent.
