ischemia/reperfusion-induced kidney injury in obese rats Obese patients encounter higher frequency and severity of acute kidney injury (AKI) than lean ones. Telmisartan is used experimentally in ischemia/reperfusion (IR)-induced AKI. However‚ there is a lack of evidence regarding its beneficial effects on AKI in obese animals. The present study‚ therefore‚ aimed to explore the protective effect of garlic and telmisartan against renal damage induced by unilateral IR in obese rats fed a high fat diet for 16 wk. We also
