A mouse model of exertional heatstroke-related acute kidney injury.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication of exertional heat stroke (EHS) with a complex pathogenesis. We established a stable mouse model of EHS-related AKI (EHS-AKI).

Methods

C57BL/6 male mice were divided into 6 groups: Saline Control group, Glycerol Control group, Saline + Sham heat exercise (SHE) group, Saline + Heat exercise (HE) group, Glycerol + SHE group, and Glycerol + HE group. Samples from the Saline Control group and the Glycerol Control group were taken 6 h after the intramuscular injection of saline (4 mL/kg) or glycerol (4 mL/kg) to provide a baseline for comparisons with the other 4 groups. The other 4 groups of mice started exercise 6 h after the intramuscular injection of saline or glycerol, and were sacrificed to collect samples after
