Fig. 6From: SDMA attenuates renal tubulointerstitial fibrosis through inhibition of STAT4Schematic model of the role of SDMA in renal fibrosis. Circulating SDMA is excreted through renal tubule and enters renal epithelial cells to inhibit the expression of STAT4, and thus inhibits partial EMT of renal tubular cells and attenuates renal tubulointerstitial fibrosis in chronic kidney diseaseBack to article page
