Abstract excerpt
Diabetes mellitus, especially when complicated with decline of renal function due to diabetic nephropathy (DN), is associated with accumulation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) exerting their adverse effects via receptor of AGE (RAGE). Soluble RAGE (sRAGE) is a truncated form of RAGE functioning as an inhibitor of AGE-mediated signalling. We studied relationships between sRAGE, renal function and genetic...
