Metformin Induces Different Responses in Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma Caki Cell Lines.
(
MDPI
, 2019 , Article)
Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is the most common and lethal form of urological cancer diagnosed globally. Mutations of the von Hippel-Lindau tumor-suppressor gene and the resultant overexpression of hypoxia-inducible ...
Nephroprotective Effects of Metformin in Diabetic Nephropathy
(
Wiley
, 2017 , Article)
Metformin, a well-known anti-diabetic agent, is very effective in lowering blood glucose in patients with type 2 diabetes with minimal side-effects. Metformin is also being recommended in the treatment of obesity and ...
Structure–activity relationship of piperine and its synthetic amide analogs for therapeutic potential to prevent experimentally induced ER stress in vitro
(
Springer Netherlands
, 2017 , Article)
Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is the key organelle involved in protein folding and maturation. Emerging studies implicate the role of ER stress in the development of chronic kidney disease. Thus, there is an urgent need for ...
Sestrin2 as a Novel Biomarker and Therapeutic Target for Various Diseases
(
Hindawi
, 2017 , Article)
Sestrin2 (SESN2), a highly conserved stress-inducible metabolic protein, is known to repress reactive oxygen species (ROS) and provide cytoprotection against various noxious stimuli including genotoxic and oxidative stress, ...
The use of Socrative and Yammer online tools to promote interactive learning in pharmacy education
(
Elsevier Inc.
, 2019 , Article)
Background and purpose
Engagement of students in the didactic classroom setting restricts students’ time spent towards active learning, which in turn, adversely affects the retention of concepts taught through traditional ...
Aldose Reductase as a Drug Target for Treatment of Diabetic Nephropathy: Promises and Challenges.
(
Bentham Science Publishers
, 2017 , Article)
Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is one of the most serious microvascular complications of diabetes mellitus and the leading cause of end stage renal disease. One of the key pathways activated in DN is the polyol pathway, in which ...
Obesity-induced changes in kidney mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum in the presence or absence of leptin
(
American Physiological Society
, 2015 , Article)
We investigated obesity-induced changes in kidney lipid accumulation, mitochondrial function, and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress in the absence of hypertension, and the potential role of leptin in modulating these ...
Molecular Mechanisms Underpinning Microparticle-Mediated Cellular Injury in Cardiovascular Complications Associated with Diabetes.
(
Hindawi
, 2019 , Article)
Microparticles (MPs) are small vesicles shed from the cytoplasmic membrane of healthy, activated, or apoptotic cells. MPs are very heterogeneous in size (100-1,000 nm), and they harbor proteins and surface antigens specific ...
Metformin Attenuates Albumin-induced Alterations in Renal Tubular Cells In Vitro
(
Wiley Periodicals, Inc
, 2017 , Article)
Proteinuria (albuminuria) plays a crucial role in the etiology of chronic kidney disease (CKD) via alteration of multiple signaling pathways and cellular process in renal cells. The objectives of this study are to investigate ...
Microparticles as Potential Mediators of High Glucose-Induced Renal Cell Injury.
(
MDPI
, 2019 , Article)
Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is the most common cause of chronic kidney disease worldwide. Activation of signaling pathways such as the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERK), ...
