Abstract: AIM: To investigate the therapeutic effect of tea polyphenols (TP) on cationic bovine serum albumin (C-BSA) glomerulonephritis.METHODS: C-BSA glomerulonephritic model was inducedin rabbits.TP in three different doses (30, 100 and 300 mg·kg-1) was ad-ministered (ig) once daily for 14 days.RESULTS: TP not only significantly reduced the urinary protein excretion, decreased blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and plasma creati-nine (Cr) levels, but also significantly relieved gloermular lesions in the rabbits treatedand there was a significant dose-dependent relationship between high dosage (300 mg·kg-1) and low dosage (30 mg·kg-1).CONCLUSION: TP can reduce proteinuria, suppress the development of glomerular impairments, and ameliorate the kidney function of rabbits with C-BSA glomerulonephritis.
