Figure 5From: A new mechanism of action of sulodexide in diabetic nephropathy: inhibits heparanase-1 and prevents FGF-2-induced renal epithelial-mesenchymal transitionHPSE and SDC1 gene expression. A) HPSE, and B) SDC1 gene expression evaluated by real-time PCR in HK2 cells treated with or without FGF-2 and sulodexide. Results represent the mean ± SD of two independent experiments performed in triplicate.Back to article page
