Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic disease that can evolve, leading to the emergence of comorbidities, such as diabetic nephropathy. The main characteristic of DM, hyperglycemia, is considered responsible for causing mitochondrial changes, such as a reduction in ATP synthesis, an increase in the production of reactive oxygen species, and the activation of pathways that culminate in cell …
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is one of the major causes of death related to several genetic and environmental factors. DM is a chronic and inflammatory disease characterized by hyperglycemia, being classified in DM1 and DM2 (inadequate secretion of insulin and resistance to the action of this hormone, respectively), both can affect multiple organ functions, including the kidney, which results i…
Diabetic nephropathy (DN) affects about 40% of diabetic patients, being the major cause of morbidity and mortality in this population. Many factors have been described in the pathophysiology of DN including the increase of purinergic receptors expression, in particular P2X7 (P2X7-R), demonstrated recently by our group. The supplementation with N-acetylcysteine antioxidant associated to th…
