DNA Cell Biol . 2011 May; 30(8):539-44. PMID: 21612401
Aquaporin-1 (AQP1), a water channel protein, has been shown to play an important role in tumor growth and angiogenesis in mouse endothelial cells. We recently reported that the expression of...

J Diabetes Complications . 2008 Apr; 23(3):178-84. PMID: 18413205
CXC chemokines are particularly significant for leukocyte infiltration in inflammatory diseases. Recent reports have shown that inflammation is one of potential pathogenic mechanisms for diabetic nephropathy. However, information on inflammation...

Metabolism . 2007 Oct; 56(11):1591-8. PMID: 17950112
Advanced glycation end products (AGEs), among the most important causes of atherosclerosis in diabetes mellitus, stimulate the proliferation of smooth muscle cells (SMCs). Smooth muscle cells are central in the...

Misawa S, Kuwabara S, Kanai K, Tamura N, Nakata M, Ogawara K, et al.
Clin Neurophysiol . 2006 Feb; 117(4):815-20. PMID: 16495151
Objective: To investigate the effects of hyperglycemia on persistent Na+ currents in human diabetic nerves, eliminating the factors of passive membrane properties as a factor. Previous studies show that strength-duration...

Clin Neurophysiol . 2004 Oct; 115(11):2525-9. PMID: 15465442
Objective: To investigate the effects of hyperglycemia on axonal excitability in human diabetics. Diabetic nerve dysfunction is partly associated with the altered polyol pathway and Na+-K+ ATPase activity, probably resulting...
