Spironolactone ameliorates podocytic adhesive capacity via restoring integrin α3 expression in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats
Podocyte responses to various injuries include detachment from the glomerular basement membrane (GBM) with impaired adhesion ability. Growing evidence suggests inappropriately enhanced aldosterone levels in glomeruli may contribute to podocytic injury and subsequently glomerulosclerosis in diabetic...
