Diabetes
0.100 Biomarker disease BEFREE Our previous work has implicated aldose reductase in a pathway whereby aldose reductase-induced use of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (reduced form) (NADPH) drives the pentose phosphate pathway, which culminates in a protein kinase C-induced increase in glomerular prostaglandin production and loss of mesangial cell contractility as a possible cause of hyperfiltration and glomerular dysfunction in diabetes. 10997684 2000
