Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Glycation of proteins is regarded as one of the major causes of the progression of diabetic nephropathy (DN) and of the phenotypic changes in glomerular mesangial cells (MC) and the cellular infiltration that occurs in MC from DN. It thus is very important to study the interrelationships and interaction between these causes. METHODS: The localization of advanced glycation endproducts (AGEs),...
