Objective: To investigate the therapeutic mechanism of tetromethylpyrazine and aminoguanidine on diabetic nephropathy. Methods: Diabetic rats were induced by streptozotocin. They were divided into 5 groups: normal control group (group C), untreated diabetic group (group DM), tetromethylpyrazine treated group (group TMP), aminoguanidine treated group (group AG) and tetromethylpyrazine and aminoguanidine treated group (group TMP+AG). The expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in renal cortex of the rats in each group was observed by immunohistochemical staining after 12 weeks. Results: The expression of VEGF in renal cortex of the rats in group TMP+AG and group C was alike. The expression of VEGF in renal cortex of group TMP and group AG decreased significantly as compared with that of group C, but was still above normal level.Conclusion: The therapeutic mechanism of tetromethylpyrazine and aminoguanidine on diabetic nephropathy may be inhibiting the over-expression of VEGF in kidney of diabetic rats.

Key words: tetromethylpyrazine, aminoguanidine, diabetic nephropathy, vascular endothelial growth factor
