Calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II activation promotes kidney mesangial expansion in streptozotocin-induced diabetic mice

Calcium-calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) is upregulated in diabetes mellitus (DM), leading to the overproduction of collagen in the myocardium. We hypothesized that CaMKII plays a role in the development of diabetic nephropathy (DN). Streptozotocin (STZ) injection into FVB wild-type m...
