Curcumin protects against fructose‐induced podocyte insulin signaling impairment through upregulation of miR‐206

ConclusionCurcumin is suggested to activate miR‐206 expression to downregulate PTP1B, and then improve insulin signaling, protect against fructose‐induced glomerular podocyte injury, and proteinuria, which may provide new evidence regarding curcumin's effects on fructose‐associated podocyte injury.
