MAMs Protect Against Ectopic Fat Deposition and Lipid-Related Kidney Damage in DN Patients

Ectopic fat deposition (EFD) in the kidney plays a key role in the development of diabetic nephropathy (DN). Mitochondria-associated ER membranes (MAMs) are structures that connect to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and are involved in lipid metabolism. However, there are few studies on MAMs in the f...
