Berberine attenuates diabetic kidney injury via FOXO1/SP1-associated regulation of renal SGLT-2 expression
Berberine (BBR), a plant-derived isoquinoline alkaloid, has been reported to exert anti-hyperglycemic and renoprotective effects. However, the mechanism by which BBR regulates renal glucose transport under diabetic conditions remains unclear. Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT-2), mainly expressed in renal proximal t...
