Uncoupling Proteins : Regulation by IGF-1 and Neuroprotection during Hyperglycemia in Vitro
Diabetic neuropathy is believed to arise due to oxidative stress following hyperglycemic situations. Uncoupling proteins (UCPs) constitute a subgroup of mitochondrial transporter proteins with putative antioxidant properties. By dissipating the proton gradient over the mitochondrial inner membrane,...
