Effects of trehalose on NFE2L2, catalase, and superoxide dismutase in the kidney of aged rats.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Aging is associated with an increase in oxidative stress, which damages organs such as the kidney. Trehalose has abundant beneficial activities including antioxidative effects. This study aimed to investigate the effects of trehalose on several antioxidant parameters of the aged kidney. Wistar rats were divided into three groups: young (4 months), aged (24 months), and aged-trehalose. The third group was treated with 2% trehalose for one month. The expression of target genes and enzyme activities in the kidney of the animals were evaluated by quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) and enzyme colorimetric procedures, respectively. Protein levels of NFE2L2 showed a 50% reduction in aged rats compared to young rats (P<0.001), which was restored by trehalose intervention. In addition, the activity and mRNA levels of catalase (CAT) increased in aged rats while treatment with trehalose reversed this trend. On the other hand, superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity was reduced in the kidneys of aged rats but was not affected by trehalose intervention .It is concluded that trehalose supplementation alleviates the antioxidant system impairments in the kidneys of aged rats. However, further investigations are needed to thoroughly describe the antioxidative impacts of trehalose on the kidneys during aging.
