Syndecan-4 knockout leads to reduced extracellular transglutaminase-2 and protects against tubulointerstitial fibrosis [PDF]

, 2013
Transglutaminase type 2 (TG2) is an extracellular matrix crosslinking enzyme with a pivotal role in kidney fibrosis. The interaction of TG2 with the heparan sulfate proteoglycan syndecan-4 (Sdc4) regulates the cell surface trafficking, localization, and ...

Streptozotocin induced hyperglycemia in the axolotl

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Diabetes is a group of diseases characterized by loss of β cell mass and/or function, resulting in hyperglycemia. With no established curative treatment, this has initiated research in β cell regeneration. Current animal models have either limited regenerative capacity (mice) or small size and evolutionary distance from humans ...

Contrast-induced nephropathy in invasive cardiology

Swiss Medical Weekly, 2012
Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) is an acute renal injury due to the renal toxicity of iodinated contrast media. It is classically defined as a relative (≥25%) or absolute (≥0.5 mg/dl; 44 μmol/l) increase in serum creatinine from baseline value ...

Upregulation of Transglutaminase andε(γ-Glutamyl)-Lysine in the Fisher-Lewis Rat Model of Chronic Allograft Nephropathy [PDF]

, 2014
Background. Tissue transglutaminase (TG2), a cross-linking enzyme, modulates deposition of extracellular matrix protein in renal fibrosis. This study aimed to examine TG2 and its cross-link product ε(γ-glutamyl)-lysine in the Fisher-Lewis rat renal ...

Commonalities of platelet dysfunction in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction and underlying comorbidities

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1013-1028, April 2025.
Abstract Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is characterized by a lack of a specific targeted treatment and a complex, partially unexplored pathophysiology. Common comorbidities associated with HFpEF are hypertension, atrial fibrillation, obesity and diabetes.

Lean ZSF1 rats in basic research on heart failure with preserved ejection fraction

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1474-1478, April 2025.
Abstract Aims ZSF1 obese rats harbouring two mutant leptin receptor alleles (Leprcp and Leprfa) develop metabolic syndrome and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), making them a widely used animal model in cardiometabolic research.

Contrast-Induced Nephropathy and Oxygen Pretreatment in Patients With Impaired Renal Function

Kidney International Reports, 2018
Contrast-induced nephropathy is a complication following coronary angiography and percutaneous coronary intervention. Because contrast-induced nephropathy is a predictor of long-term mortality in patients with ischemic heart disease undergoing ...
