[Gly14]-Humanin inhibits an angiotensin II-induced vascular smooth muscle cell phenotypic switch via ameliorating intracellular oxidative stress.

Angiotensin II (AngII) is involved in the pathogenesis of hypertensive artery remodeling by inducing a phenotypic switch in vascular smooth muscle cells [Gly14]-Humanin (HNG), a humanin analogue, exerts potent cytoprotective effects both and . This study aimed to investigate the effects of HNG on an AngII-induced phenotypic switch in VSMCs and the potential mechanisms underlying these effects. The roles of [Gly14]-Humanin in AngII-stimulated VSMCs proliferation and migration was detected by CCK-8 assay, Cell cycle analysis, wound healing assay, trsnswell assay and western blot.

Simplified, Low-Cost Method on Glucose Tolerance Testing in High-Risk Group of Diabetes, Explored by Simulation of Diagnosis.

Explore the distribution of basic characteristics of high-risk groups of diabetes; verify the practical significance and diagnostic value of the "three-point method"; layered analysis of glycated hemoglobin and glycated serum albumin, and study its value and significance in the diagnosis of diabetes mellitus, Type II and pre-diabetes mellitus, Type II. 1304 high-risk individuals with T2D in Shanghai, 529 males and 841 females with an average of (50.5 ± 15.
