高糖环境对大鼠肾小球系膜细胞AMPK表达及活性的影响 Introduction Diabeticnephropathyisoneofthemostcommoncomplicationsassociatedwithdiabetesmellitus.Thepathologyofdiabeticnephropathyischaracterizedbychronicinflammation,oxidativestress,andintricatesignalingpathways.Somestudieshavesuggestedthathighglucoseenvironmentscanactivatesignalingpathways,leadingtotheexpressionofinflammatorycytokines,chemokines,andmatrixproteins.Activationofadenosinemonophosphate-activatedproteinkinase(AMPK)isknowntoregulatevariouscellularfunctions,anditsdysregulationmaycontributetothedevelopmentandprogressionofdiabeticnephropathy.Hence,thisstudyaimedtoinvestigatetheeffectofhighglucoseenvironmentsonAMPKexpressionandactivityinratmesangialcells.
