Effect of CsA on the expression of renin and angiotensin type 1 receptor genes in the rat kidney.

abstract：BACKGROUND:We have previously reported that the serum concentration of 2-(alpha-mannopyranosyl)-L-tryptophan (MPT), tryptophan glycoconjugate, is a more accurate measure of renal function than that of serum creatinine concentration. The aim of the present study was to compare the diagnostic value of serum concentration...
