Activation of general control nonderepressible 2 kinase protects human glomerular endothelial cells from harmful high-glucose-induced molecular pathways
(2016)Purpose: Considering the referred beneficial effects of protein restriction on diabetic nephropathy (DN) and the role of renal endothelium in its pathogenesis, we evaluated the effect of general control nonderepressible 2 ... -
Chios mastic gum: A plant-produced resin exhibiting numerous diverse pharmaceutical and biomedical prοperties
(2012)Chios mastic gum (CMG) is a resin produced by the plant Pistacia lentiscus var. chia. CMG is used to extract the mastic gum essential oil (MGO). CMG and MGO consist of nearly 70 constituents and have demonstrated numerous ... -
A systematic review and meta-analysis of genetic association studies for the role of inflammation and the immune system in diabetic nephropathy
(2017)Background: Despite the certain contribution of metabolic and haemodynamic factors in diabetic nephropathy (DN), many lines of evidence highlight the role of immunologic and inflammatory mechanisms. To elucidate the ... -
Transactivation of epidermal growth factor receptor EGFR by CB1 cannabinoid receptor agonists
(2007)Cannabinoids have long been used as therapeutic agents. The recent identification of the endogenous cannabinoid system in the brain, namely the abundance of the CB1 receptor (CB1R) in the CNS and the discovery of the ... -
Tryptophan depletion under conditions that imitate insulin resistance enhances fatty acid oxidation and induces endothelial dysfunction through reactive oxygen species-dependent and independent pathways
(2017)In atherosclerosis-associated pathologic entities characterized by malnutrition and inflammation, l-tryptophan (TRP) levels are low. Insulin resistance is an independent cardiovascular risk factor and induces endothelial ... -
A unifying model of glucotoxicity in human renal proximal tubular epithelial cells and the effect of the SGLT2 inhibitor dapagliflozin
(2020)Background: Glucotoxicity in renal tubular epithelial cells (RPTECs) contributes to the pathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy. Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors may exert their renoprotective effect by ...
