Abstract

Diabetic nephropathy is currently viewed as a predominantly glomerular process with glomerular injury driving secondary tubular loss. Brezniceanu and colleagues apply transgenic methods to support a prominent role for reactive oxygen species as mediators and for the proximal tubule as a major site of early disease activity in diabetes. Results support evidence for early tubular apoptosis and atrophy in human diabetic nephropathy.
