NF-E2-related factor 2 and its role in diabetic nephropathy

Iran J Kidney Dis. 2013 Sep;7(5):346-51.

Abstract

Diabetic nephropathy is the leading cause of chronic kidney disease and end-stage renal disease. Oxidative stress has been recognized as a major contributor to its pathogenesis. Defensive mechanisms have also widely been studied. One of them, the NF-E2-Related Factor 2, is reviewed in this article.
