Intaermedin attenuates chronic intermittent hypoxia-induced renal fibrosis via SIRT1-mediated inhibition of the NOX4/ROS axis.
Obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) is characterized by chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH) and is an independent risk factor for chronic kidney disease (CKD); the underlying mechanism may involve oxidative stress. This study investigated the role of intermedin (IMD), a small antioxidant peptide, in CIH-in...
