Sitagliptin and shock wave-supported peripheral blood derived endothelial progenitor cell therapy effectively preserves residual renal function in chronic kidney disease in rat—role of dipeptidyl peptidase 4 inhibition

This study tested whether sitagliptin and shock wave (SW)-assisted circulatory-derived autologous endothelial progenitor cell (EPC) therapy would effectively preserve residual renal function in chronic kidney disease (CKD) induced by 5/6 left-nephrectomy/remove right kidney plus daily feeding high-p...
