Curcumin protects against fructose-induced podocyte insulin signaling impairment through upregulation of miR-206

Abstract

Curcumin is suggested to activate miR-206 expression to downregulate PTP1B, and then improve insulin signaling, protect against fructose-induced glomerular podocyte injury, and proteinuria, which may provide new evidence regarding curcumin's effects on fructose-associated podocyte injury.
