Periostin deficiency attenuates kidney fibrosis in diabetic nephropathy via improving pancreatic β-cell dysfunction
2023-04-06
Abstract excerpt
Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is associated with kidney fibrosis. A previous study revealed that periostin (POSTN) contributes to kidney fibrosis. This study examined the role of POSTN in DN. The urinary concentrations of POSTN and TNC increased according to the severity of DN in human samples. Streptozotocin (STZ) was administered after unilateral nephrectomy (UNXSTZ) to induce DN in both wild-type and Postn -null mi...
