Transcriptional Regulation of Transforming Growth Factor β1 by Glucose: Investigation into the Role of the Hexosamine Biosynthesis Pathway.

CONCLUSIONS: The metabolism of glucose through the HBP mediates extracellular matrix production, possibly via the stimulation of TGF-β in kidney cells. Hexosamine metabolism therefore, may play a role in the development of diabetic nephropathy. PMID: 32039769 [PubMed - in process]
