Normal and diabetic rats were given daily injections of human growth hormone for four days (5 mg per rat per day). Injected rats showed no differences from uninjected controls with respect to kidney weight or renal content of protein, RNA or DNA. Kidney weight increased by 7% after two days of diabe
Initial diabetic renal hypertrophy is preceded by a transient increase in kidney insulin-like growth factor I suggesting that insulin-like growth factor I may be implicated in diabetic kidney growth. The present study was undertaken to examine the effects of exogenous insulin-like growth factor I in
IDDM is associated with an increase in kidney size, which is due to cellular hypertrophy and progressive matrix accumulation within the glomerulus and throughout the tubulointerstitium. The present study addressed the potential role of cysteine and metalloproteinases in renal hypertrophy of short-te
