}Excessive cellular growth is a major contributor to pathological changes associated with diabetic nephropathy. In particular, high glucose-induced growth of glomerular mesangial cells is a characteristic feature of diabetes-induced renal complications. Glomerular mesangial cells respond to traditional growth factors, although in diabetes this occurs in the context of an environment enriched in both circulating vasoactive mediators and high glucose. For example, the vasoactive peptide ANG II has…
