Özet:

 Background: Vitamin A retinol and its derivatives are essential for maintaining cell differentiation in adult organisms as well as for normal embryonic development in fetuses. On the other hand, high amounts of vitamin A are known to be teratogenic. The formation of urogenital structures depends heavily on retinoic acid receptors. The effects of low and moderate dosages of retinol on the urinary system have not been adequately studied. The aim of our study was to investigate the effects of moderate and low doses of vitamin A on the fetal kidney. Materials and Methods: Pregnant rats were divided into 6 groups. On day 10 to 12 of pregnancy P10-P12 the first group was administered 10000 IUkg, the second group 20000 IUkg, the third group 30000 IUkg, the fourth group 40000 IUkg and the fifth group 50000 IUkg oral vitamin A. The control group only received 1 ml of corn oil on the same days. The fetuses were delivered via cesarean section at P19. The kidneys of the fetuses were removed after cardiac perfusion was used to fixate them. After histological preparation of the kidneys, the slides were stained with hematoxylin and eosin. By using stereological methods, the kidneys volume V, glomeruli per unit area NAg, and glomeruli diameter D were all estimated. The results were statistically analyzed. Results: The renal volumes of the 20000, 30000 and 40000 IUkg groups were higher than those of the other groups. It was also found that the NAg levels of the group receiving 50000 IUkg Vitamin A were lower than those of all other groups. Moreover, the NAg levels of the groups receiving 20000, 30000 and 40000 IUkg vitamin A were higher than those of the control group and the group receiving 10000 IUkg. While the glomeruli diameters of the experimental groups were not different from those of the control group, the glomeruli diameters of the group receiving 20000 and 50000 IUkg retinol were larger than those of the groups receiving 10000 and 40000 IUkg vitamin A. Conclusions: Given the estimated higher V, Na, and D values of the group receiving 20000 IUkg vitamin A, we can assume that this particular dose has a significant effect on renal morphology and development.

 Amaç: A vitamini retinol ve türevleri, fetüste normal embriyonik gelişim ve yetişkin organizmada hücre farklılaşmasının sürdürülmesi için gereklidir. Öte yandan aşırı dozda A vitamini alımının teratojenik etkilerinin olduğu bilinmektedir. Retinoik asit reseptörleri, ürogenital yapıların gelişiminde çok önemli bir rol oynar. Düşük ve orta doz retinolün üriner sistem üzerindeki etkilerine ilişkin yeterli çalışma yoktur. Çalışmamızın amacı orta ve düşük doz A vitamininin fetal böbrek üzerine etkilerini araştırmaktır. Materyal ve Metod: Gebe sıçanlar 6 gruba ayrıldı. Gebeliğin 10 ila 12. gününde P10-P12. Birinci gruba 10.000 IUkg, ikinci gruba 20.000 IUkg, üçüncü gruba 30.000 IUkg, dördüncü gruba 40.000 IUkg ve beşinci gruba 50.000 IUkg oral A vitamini verildi. Kontrol grubuna sadece 1 ml mısır yağı verildi. P19da fetüsler sezaryen ile çıkarıldı. Fetüsler kalp perfüzyonu ile tespit edildi ve böbrekleri alındı. Histolojik ön aşamalardan sonra, kesitler hematoksilen ve eozin ile boyandı. Böbrek hacmi V, birim alandaki glomerül sayısı Na ve glomerül çapı D stereolojik yöntemlerle hesaplandı. Sonuçlar istatistiksel olarak analiz edildi. Bulgular: 20.000, 30.000 ve 40.000 IUkg gruplarının böbrek hacimleri diğer gruplara göre daha yüksekti. Ayrıca 50.000 IUkg alan grubun NAg düzeylerinin diğer tüm gruplara göre daha düşük olduğu saptandı. Ayrıca 20.000, 30.000 ve 40.000 IUkg A vitamini alan grupların NAg düzeyleri kontrol grubu ve 10.000 IUkg alan gruba göre daha yüksekti. Deney gruplarının glomerül çapları kontrol grubundan farklı değilken, 20.000 ve 50.000 IUkg retinol alan grubun glomerül çapları 10.000 ve 40.000 IUkg A vitamini alan gruplardan daha büyüktü. Sonuç: 20.000 IUkg A vitamini alan grubun daha yüksek V, NAg ve D değerleri göz önüne alındığında, bu dozun böbrek morfolojisi ve gelişimi üzerinde önemli bir etkisi olduğunu düşünülmektedir.
