Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND AIM: Diabetic nephropathy (DN) represents the primary contributor to end-stage renal disease worldwide, and its prevalence continues to grow, even with improvements in therapies aimed at lowering glucose levels. The progression of DN has been associated with lipid metabolism, yet the direct involvement of particular lipid species is still not fully understood. This study employs two-sample...
