Abstract
Camel whey protein (CWP) is a potent natural antioxidant, noted for its abundance of antioxidant amino acids. Despite its promising properties, the precise mechanisms underlying its effects remain inadequately explored. This study aims to investigate the impact of CWP on kidney damage induced by acute heat stress in rats, as well as to elucidate its mechanism of action. We assessed CWP's influence on cytochrome P450 2J (CYP2J) activity during heat stress, measured oxidative stress levels, and evaluated renal injury using CYP2J knockout rats. Our findings indicate that acute heat stress reduces CYP2J expression, while CWP administration restores CYP2J activity and enhances PI3K/Akt signaling. However, CWP did not mitigate oxidative stress-induced kidney damage in CYP2J-/- rats, suggesting the necessity of CYP2J for its protective effects.
