The effects of acute lead exposure on renal function, lipid peroxidation and the expression of haeme oxygenase (HO) in rat kidney were determined. A single injection of lead acetate (50 mg Pb/kg) was given to rats. Changes in renal function, characterized by a significant reduction in the Na excretion was observed six hours after Pb exposure; this effect persisted for 24 hours. TBARS levels increased in kidney cortex 24 hours after Pb administration. In kidney cortex, Pb exposure affected the expression of HO-1, a renal protein associated with oxidative stress. HO-1 mRNA increased 2.3-fold, three hours after Pb administration and remained increased for six, 12 and 24 hours. HO enzymatic activity and HO-1 protein increased six and three hours after Pb administration, respectively, and remained increased at 24 hours. HO inhibition by tin-protoporphyrin, potentiated Pb-induced increase in TBARS and prevented the Pb-induced reduction in Na excretion. Our data suggest that Pb may be acting through the generation of oxidant products and induction of HO.
