Potential Renoprotective Agents through Inhibiting CTGF/CCN2 in Diabetic Nephropathy
Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is the leading cause of end-stage renal disease (ESRD). The development and progression of DN might involve multiple factors. Connective tissue growth factor (CCN2, originally known as CTGF) is the one which plays a pivotal role. Therefore, increasing attention is being paid to CCN2 as a potential therapeutic target for DN. Up to date, there are also many drugs or agen...
متن کاملRenoprotective effect of atorvastatin on STZ-diabetic rats through inhibiting inflammatory factors expression in diabetic rat.
OBJECTIVE Though increasing evidences showed that statins had potential benefits to diabetic kidney disease (DKD), its mechanism has not been completely elucidated yet. The aim of this study was to investigate the renoprotective effects of atorvastatin on DKD. MATERIALS AND METHODS Kidney injury was induced by streptozotocin (STZ) in rats. STZ-diabetic rats were treated with atorvastatin (10 ...

متن کاملRenoprotective Effect of Berberine on Streptozotocin-induced Diabetic Nephropathy Rats
Background and Objective: Berberine (BBR), an isoquinoline alkaloid has been used in treating many diseases. However, its effects on diabetic nephropathy inflammation have not been investigated. The purpose of this study was designed to evaluate the anti-inflammation effect of BBR on diabetic nephropathy. Methodology: The diabetic rat model was generated by a single intraperitoneal injection of...
متن کاملLong-term renoprotective effect of nisoldipine and lisinopril in type 1 diabetic patients with diabetic nephropathy.
OBJECTIVE To compare the long-term effect on kidney function of a long-acting calcium antagonist (nisoldipine) versus a long-acting ACE inhibitor (lisinopril) in hypertensive type 1 diabetic patients with diabetic nephropathy. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We performed a 4-year prospective, randomized, double-dummy controlled study comparing nisoldipine (20-40 mg once a day) with lisinopril (10...
