Lipid quantification supports research on diabetic kidney disease

Details: Last Updated: Tuesday, 20 June 2017 12:35

Annelie Falkevall and her co-workers showed that modulating the signalling pathway that controls lipid accumulation in the kidneys might be a possible strategy to treat diabetic kidney disease. Quantification of specific lipids by lipidomics analyses done at the Swedish Metabolomics Centre supported their studies.
