Benidipine Protects Kidney through Inhibiting ROCK1 Activity and Reducing the Epithelium-Mesenchymal Transdifferentiation in Type 1 Diabetic Rats
We investigated the protective effect of benidipine, by testing the changes of the activity of Rho kinase and transdifferentiation of renal tubular epithelium cells in vivo. Wistar rats were randomly divided into two groups: normal (N) and diabetes. STZ were used to make the rats type 1 diabetic and...
