RESUMEN
We demonstrated that the serum of pregnant rats increases viability of kidney epithelial cells and promotes their proliferation. The intensity of oxidative stress in the kidneys was also reduced during pregnancy, but only in rats that were not exposed to acute ischemic kidney injury. This decrease in oxidative stress was not associated with changes in transmembrane mitochondrial potential, the size of mitochondria, time of opening of mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP), mitochondrial respiration rate, antioxidant activity, or nitric oxide level.
