Effective protective mechanisms of HO-1 in diabetic complications: a narrative review.

Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder with persistent hyperglycemia caused by a variety of underlying factors. Chronic hyperglycemia can lead to diverse serious consequences and diversified complications, which pose a serious threat to patients. Among the major complications are cardiovascular disease, kidney disease, diabetic foot ulcers, diabetic retinopathy, and neurological disorders.

Dapagliflozin prevents kidney podocytes pyroptosis via miR-155-5p/HO-1/NLRP3 axis modulation.

Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is a significant clinical microvascular complication associated with diabetes mellitus (DM), and end-stage diabetes giving rise to kidney failure is developing into the major etiological factor of chronic kidney failure. Dapagliflozin is reported to limit podocyte damage in DM, which has proven to protect against renal failure. Mounting evidence has demonstrated that pyroptosis is associated with DM progression.

Effect of naltrexone on neuropathic pain in mice locally transfected with the mutant μ-opioid receptor gene in spinal cord.

Background And Purpose: Opioid antagonists, such as naloxone and naltrexone, exhibit agonistic properties at the mutated μ receptor, MOR-S196ACSTA. In our previous study, systemic naloxone (10 mg·kg(-1) , s.c.
