Type 1 diabetic patients with overt nephropathy show increased TGF-beta1 secretion by PBMC. Diastolic blood pressure levels correlated with TGF-beta1 secretion in diabetic patients with nephropathy.

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.
