Abstract excerpt
Proteinuria is involved in the development of tubular lesions and in the progressive loss of renal function in chronic kidney diseases via uncertain mechanisms. Growing evidence suggests a pathogenic role of mitochondrial dysfunction in chronic kidney diseases. Therefore, the present study aimed to define the roles of mitochondria in proteinuria-induced renal tubular injury and their underlying mechanisms. Using...
