Molecular therapy for Diabetic nephropathy (DN): Resveratrol, a longevity-promoting molecule, increases Pyruvate kinase M2 (PKM2) expression, decreases toxic glucose metabolites, mitochondrial dysfunction and apoptosis, augments glycolytic flux and PGC-1α levels, improves metabolic abnormalities, albuminuria, glomerular pathology, and renal dysfunction and alleviates diabetic nephropathy via down regulation of its target gene, 25/January/2018, 10.48 pm

Introduction: What they say A study from the Research Division, Joslin Diabetes Center, Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts, USA shows that “Pyruvate kinase M2 activation may protect against the […]
