Normalizing glycated albumin reduces increased urinary collagen IV and prevents renal insufficiency in diabetic db/db mice

Increased excretion of type IV collagen accompanies the accumulation of mesangial matrix, which leads to compromise in the glomerular filtration surface area, during the development of diabetic nephropathy. We postulated that the response of urinary collagen IV would be useful in evaluating possible...
