Glucose-induced changes in the phenotype of human peritoneal mesothelial cells: effect of L-2-oxothiazolidine carboxylic acid.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: During peritoneal dialysis, mesothelial cells are chronically exposed to high concentrations of glucose. Therefore, the cytotoxic effect of glucose may alter the function and reactivity of these cells. METHODS: For 4 weeks, human peritoneal mesothelial cells were cultured in vitroin medium supplemented with 45 mM glucose or 45 mM mannitol or with 45 mM glucose and 1 mM L-2-oxothiazolidine-4-carboxylic...
