Abstract excerpt
AIM: The previous studies demonstrated that transforming growth factor-beta(1) (TGF-beta(1)) could upregulate the expression of aldose reductase (AR). The aim of this study is to clarify (investigate) the mechanism of TGF-beta(1)-induced AR expression. METHODS: Real-time polymerase chain reaction and western blot were used to analyse the AR expression in mRNA and protein levels in human mesangial cells, and...
