Icariin Prevents Extracellular Matrix Accumulation and Ameliorates Experimental Diabetic Kidney Disease by Inhibiting Oxidative Stress via GPER Mediated p62-Dependent Keap1 Degradation and Nrf2 Activation

The present study aimed to determine whether icariin could attenuate type 1 diabetic nephropathy (T1DN) induced by streptozotocin (STZ) after 4 weeks or not. Therefore, its therapeutic effect on diabetic kidney disease was investigated in view of reactive oxygen (ROS) and extracellular matrix (ECM)...
