Malondialdehyde (MDA) and glutathione (GSH) in mice with anti-glomerular basement membrane antibody-induced glomerulonephritis (anti-GBM-GN).

<p>Urine and renal tissue MDA levels were markedly elevated in mice with anti-GBM glomerulonephritis compared with the normal controls. Treatment with EGCG normalized the urine and renal tissue MDA levels. Serum MDA levels were not significantly altered among the three groups. Renal tissue GSH levels were modestly reduced in mice with anti-GBM glomerulonephritis compared with the normal controls. Treatment with EGCG increased the renal tissue GSH to supranormal levels. Values are expressed as mean ± SEM; n = 7–9 in each group.
