Abstract:Backgrounds:
The presence of extensive vascular and large amounts of collagen and elastin in lung tissue makes the lung parenchyma vulnerable to damage in diabetes. However, there are few studies on the pathophysiological effects of diabetes on lung tissue. In this study, we investigated the effects of type 2 diabetes on lung tissue pathology and the expression of miRNA-155 and miRNA-133a in lung tissue of male rats.
Methods and results:
In this study, 20 male rats were divided into a control group and a gro… Show more
