Background: The present study explored the nephropreventive effect of shikonin, a naturally occurring herbal medicine, possessing proteasome inhibitory and antioxidant effects via activation of nuclear factorerythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) against lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced septic acute kidney injury (AKI) using a murine model. Methods: Septic AKI was induced in C57BL mice by intraperitoneal administration of LPS (20 mg/kg). Shikonin (5 mg/kg) was administered intraperitoneally to… Expand
