What is Citrus Bergamia Risso & Poiteau Juice Protects Against Renal Injury of Diet‐induced Hypercholesterolemia in Rats about?
## Abstract The present study was designed to evaluate the protective effect of treatment with __Citrus bergamia__ juice (1 mL/day, for 30 days) against hypercholesterolemic diet‐induced renal injury in rat. __C. bergamia__ juice provoked a significant reduction in the plasma levels of cholesterol, triglycerides and LDL, and an increase in HDL levels, versus hyperlipidemic controls (__p__ < 0.05). Plasma creatinine levels, measured to assess renal glomerular function, did not change compared with hyperlipidemic controls (0.37 ± 0.11 mg/dL and 0.32 ± 0.10 mg/dL, respectively). Moreover, __in vivo__ lipid peroxidation was measured in kidney homogenate; __C. bergamia__ juice administration significantly decreased MDA levels elevations compared with hyperlipidemic controls (4.10 ± 0.10 nmol/mg protein and 4.78 ± 0.15 nmol/mg protein, respectively). Histological observations of the kidney supported the biochemical data and indicated a protective effect of __C. bergamia__ juice on the development of renal damage in hypercholesterolemic rats. The antioxidant potential of __C. bergamia__ juice was examined in two __in vitro__ systems: in the DPPH test the juice showed a noticeable effect o
