Association between serum α-klotho levels and the incidence of diabetic kidney disease and mortality in type 2 diabetes: evidence from a Chinese cohort and the NHANES database

Diabetology & Metabolic Syndrome
Background The α-klotho is crucial in diabetes and its related complications. This study seeks to explore the link between α-klotho levels and the risk of diabetic kidney disease (DKD) as well as all-cause and cardiovascular mortality among individuals ...

Substrate stiffness regulates cell fate and its applications in the repair of motor system: From two dimensions to three dimensions

BMEMat, EarlyView.
Substrate stiffness with different dimensions (2D and 3D) exerts a regulatory role in cellular behaviors, thereby governing cell fate decisions. Biomaterials with tunable stiffness exhibit substantial functional potential for the repair and regeneration of the motor system.

Research progress on the role of inflammatory mediators in the pathogenesis of epilepsy

Ibrain, Volume 11, Issue 1, Page 44-58, Spring 2025.
In the central nervous system, activated immune cells lead to the overproduction of inflammatory mediators through the corresponding signal pathway. Under the stimulation of inflammatory factors, neuroinflammation ultimately occurs. Overexpression of inflammatory mediators and activated immunocytes plays an important role in the emergence and ...

Influence of exogenous growth hormone administration on circulating concentrations of α-klotho in healthy and chronic kidney disease subjects: a prospective, single-center open case-control pilot study

BMC Nephrology, 2018
Background The CKD-associated decline in soluble α-Klotho (α-Klotho) levels is considered detrimental. Some studies suggest a direct induction of α-Klotho concentrations by growth hormone (GH).

Neuroprotective action of α-Klotho against LPS-activated glia conditioned medium in primary neuronal culture

Scientific Reports, 2022
The α-Klotho is an anti-aging protein that, when overexpressed, extends the life span in humans and mice. It has an anti-inflammatory and protective action on renal cells by inhibiting NF-κB activation and production of inflammatory cytokines in response

Epigenetic Regulation in the Pathogenesis of Renal Inflammation: Insights and Therapeutic Potentials

iNew Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Renal inflammation is a common pathological process in various kidney diseases, often initiated by factors such as toxins, ischemia, or autoimmune reactions. This inflammatory response can result in structural damage and a rapid decline in renal function.

Circulating α-Klotho is Related to Plasma Aldosterone and Its Follow-Up Change Predicts CKD Progression

Kidney & Blood Pressure Research, 2018
Background/Aims: We aimed to determine if soluble α-klotho level was an indicator of chronic kidney disease (CKD) progression and whether α-klotho interacted with aldosterone during the course of further renal damage.

Bisphenol A and Its Analogs: Toxicity Analysis in Mouse and Rat Liver—A Review

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Bisphenol A (BPA) and its analogs are widely recognized for their use in industry and plastic manufacturing. Consequently, humans and animals are continually exposed to various substances in their daily lives. This review evaluates the hepatic toxicity of BPA and its analogs in mice and rats, with particular emphasis on molecular mechanisms ...

The association between serum soluble α-Klotho and thyroid profile among adults from NHANES 2007–2012

BMC Endocrine Disorders
Background Thyroid hormone is the key endocrine regulator of growth, development, metabolism, and other bodily functions. α-Klotho has been involved in the aging process and acts as an endocrine factor involved in the regulation of various metabolic ...
