VEGF<sub>165</sub>b overexpression restores normal glomerular water permeability in VEGF<sub>164</sub>-overexpressing adult mice
19 Jul 2012
Abstract excerpt
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-A, a family of differentially spliced proteins produced by glomerular podocytes, maintains glomerular filtration barrier function. The expression of VEGF molecules is altered in human nephropathy. We aimed to determine the roles of the angiogenic VEGF(164) isoform, and the antiangiogenic VEGF(165)b isoform in mature, adult glomeruli in vivo using conditional, inducible...
