Yishen Xiaoke Formula Delays Renal Fibrosis in Rats with Diabetic Nephropathy by Suppressing the Transforming Growth Factor-Beta 1/Notch Signalling Pathway.

Article D Peer reviewed Preclinical

Key takeaways

This study tested a traditional Chinese medicine formula in rats. The rats had kidney damage from diabetes. The formula helped slow down scarring in the kidneys. This was done in animals, not people, so we do not know if it will work in humans yet. It is an early step in finding new treatments.
