“…Approximately 20%-40% of patients with type 1 diabetes and 10%-20% of those with type 2 diabetes develop nephropathy (Deckert et al, 1981). Hyperglycaemia can cause diabetic complications, several biochemical markers can indicate pathogenesis, including advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) (Masutani et al, 1999;Nakajou et al, 2005), reactive oxygen species (ROS) (Uemura et al, 2001), mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) , protein kinase C (PKC) (Craven et al, 1990), transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) (Bottinger and Bitzer, 2002), poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) (Minchenko et al, 2003), platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) (Tsiani et al, 2002) and endothelin (Ding et al, 2003).…”
