TL;DR

It is demonstrated that HWMMT exerts neuroprotection in early DR by suppressing the IL-1β/c-Jun signaling cascade and restoring GS expression and function in Müller cells, thereby reducing extracellular glutamate accumulation and mitigating excitotoxic damage.

Leucine Mitigates Diabetic Nephropathy via Its Antioxidant Effect and Modulation of TGF-β/SMAD-3 Signalling Pathway in Streptozotocin-Induced Diabetic Rats

Background/Objectives Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is the main contributor to the incidence of end-stage renal disease and kidney failure. This research aims to explore the curative effect of leucine in the DN rat model. Methods 40 male rats were sorted into four equal groups. Group I acted as the control group. Group II...
