Application

Application Comment Organism
medicine diabetes-induced translocation of protein kinase C, specifically PKC-alpha to renal membranes is associated with increased NADPH-dependent superoxide production. In both diabetic animals and in advanced glycation end products-treated mesangial cells, blockade of NADPH oxidase or PKC-alpha attenuates cytosolic superoxide and protein kinase C activation and increases vascular endothelial growth factor Rattus norvegicus
