HS may help to accelerate the recovery of renal function post-obstruction and attenuates renal injury associated with UUO. It is possible that HS mitigates fibrosis by regulating the TGF-β1-mediated EMT pathway. Taken together, our data suggest that HS may be a potential novel therapy for improving renal function and limiting renal injury associated with obstructive uropathy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
