High glucose-induced Smad3 linker phosphorylation and CCN2 expression are inhibited by dapagliflozin in a diabetic tubule epithelial cell model
{{output}}
Background: In the kidney glucose is freely filtered by the glomerulus and, mainly, reabsorbed by sodium glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) expressed in the early proximal tubule. Human proximal tubule epithelial cells (PTECs) under... ...
