Mitophagy Plays a Protective Role in Iodinated Contrast-Induced Acute Renal Tubular Epithelial Cells Injury

Abstract

Together, our finding indicates that iohexol and iodixanol contribute to the generation of mitochondrial ROS and mitophagy. The enhancement of mitophagy can effectively protect the kidney from iodinated contrast (iohexol)-induced renal tubular epithelial cells injury.
