abstract：:Oxidative stress plays a key role in the pathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy (DN). The anti-aging protein Klotho has been demonstrated to have antioxidant capacity. Nuclear factor-erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) is a central transcription factor regulating antioxidant responses. The present study aimed to explore...
