Presence of Kimmelstiel-Wilson like lesions in canine renal faillure

Background: Nodular increases in mesangial matrix is the definition of Kimmelstiel-Wilson (K-W) lesions. In man, focal mesangiolyses and K-W nodules were positively associated with diabetes, proteinuria and hyalinization of afferent and efferent arterioles. Although, nodular sclerotic lesions may also occur in the absence of diabetic nephropathy and are clinically related to hypertension, smoking, hypercholeste...

Sitagliptin delays progression of renal lesions in a rodent model of type 2 dia...

Pancreatic lesions and metabolic aggravation are prevented by low doses of sita...

Introduction: The management of type 2 diabetes is designed to reduce disease-related complications and improve long-term outcomes. Inhibition of dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) activity by sitagliptin has been shown to improve glycaemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) by prolonging the actions of incretin hormones, but the real impact of low-dose sitagliptin treatment on cardiometabolic...

Renal structure modification in an animal model of type 2 diabetes with aging: ...

Background and aims: The Zucker Diabetic Fatty (ZDF-fa/fa) rat is one of the most used models for the study of type 2 diabetes (T2DM). Characterization of renal morphology in this model may provide useful insights into the mechanism of diabetic nephropathy progression. The purpose of the present study was to determine renal morphology, identify and characterize renal dysfunction complications such as hydronephr...

Biochemical and histological effects of sitagliptin on Zucker Diabetic Fatty ra...

Background: Inhibition of dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) activity by sitagliptin has been shown to improve glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) by prolonging the actions of incretin hormones, but the really impact of low-dose sitagliptin treatment on pancreas lesions is almost unknown. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of sitagliptin on biochemical and histological (pancreas)...

Hypertension induced by immunosuppressive drugs: a comparative analysis between...

The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of sirolimus (SRL) vs cyclosporine (CsA) concerning the cardiovascular mechanisms hypothetically contributing to hypertension development. Three rat groups were studied: control (vehicle), CsA (5 mg/kg/d), and SRL (1 mg/kg/d). The following parameters were evaluated after 7 weeks of treatment: blood pressured (BP) and heart rate (HR; tail cuff), lipid profile...
