Mitochondrial Dysfunction in Diabetic Kidney Diseases Detected

In a recent study the researcher scientists have found out mitochondrial dysfunction in respect of diabetic kidney diseases in men and women. Overall 13 metabolites were detected by the researchers in California in kidney and diabetes patients. They are also different from those present in their healthier counterparts. Diabetic kidney cells suppress mitochondria that are one of the vital cells in human anatomy. "This work provides strong evidence that reduced mitochondrial function is a dominant feature of human diabetic kidney disease," according to Kumar Sharma, the first author of the research. Their finding was that AMPK-PGC1a is most likely to play a major role in damaging the mitochondrial activities in the physique. However they also visualize the introduction of some new therapeutic methods to revive the mitochondrial activities and elements may be very helpful in even chronic kidney ailments. Since diabetic kidney disease is a big health problem in many countries, this could be a major breakthrough in the domain of medical science.
