  • The authors concluded that dietary restriction (DR) exerted anti-inflammatory effects and improved the dysregulation of autophagy through the restoration of Sirt1 in the kidneys of Wistar fatty (fa/fa) rats (WFRs), which resulted in the amelioration of renal injuries in type 2 diabetes

  • MT-1/-2 expression was evaluated in mProx24 cells, a mouse renal proximal tubular epithelial cell line, stimulated with high glucose medium and pretreated with the antioxidant vitamin E

Summary

Introduction

In the paper entitled “Dietary restriction ameliorates diabetic nephropathy through anti-inflammatory effects and regulation of the autophagy via restoration of Sirt1 in diabetic Wistar fatty (fa/fa) rats: a model of type 2 diabetes,” M. It is assumed that the number of type 2 diabetes and diabetic nephropathy patients is increasing and that more and more patients will experience progressive renal disease due to lack of effective treatments. It is important to investigate and determine pathogenesis (mechanisms of initiation and/or progression) and treatments using various experimental models of type 2 diabetic nephropathy.
