The changes in immune cell concentration during the progression of pre-diabetes to type 2 diabetes in a high-fat high-carbohydrate diet-induced pre-diabetic rat model.

abstract：:It has been shown that cationic anti-DNA antibodies have nephritogenic potential in murine models of lupus nephritis. More recently, we have reported that there is a close relationship between the presence of circulating cationic anti-DNA antibodies and the development of lupus nephritis in humans, and that the cation...
