Curcumin alleviates diabetic nephropathy via inhibiting podocyte mesenchymal transdifferentiation and inducing autophagy in rats and MPC5 cells
Context: Curcumin could ameliorate diabetic nephropathy (DN), but the mechanism remains unclear. Objective: The efficacy of curcumin on epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of podocyte and autophagy in vivo and in vitro was explored. Materials and methods: Thirty male Sprague–Dawley rats were...
