Astragaloside IV protects against podocyte injury via SERCA2-dependent ER stress reduction and AMPKα-regulated autophagy induction in streptozotocin-induced diabetic nephropathy

Abstract Aberrant endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and autophagy are associated with diabetic nephropathy. Here we investigated the effect of astragaloside IV (AS-IV) on the progression of diabetic nephropathy (DN) and the underlying mechanism involving ER stress and autophagy in streptozotocin (ST...
