Expression of connective tissue growth factor in human renal fibrosis

TL;DR: The results indicate that CTGF may be a common growth factor involved in renal fibrosis, and an increase in the number of cells expressing CTGF mRNA was observed at sites of chronic tubulointerstitial damage, which correlated with the degree of damage.
Journal ArticleDOI

Simultaneous measurement of anandamide and 2-arachidonoylglycerol by polymyxin B-selective adsorption and subsequent high-performance liquid chromatography analysis: increase in endogenous cannabinoids in the sera of patients with endotoxic shock.

TL;DR: A 4-fold and 3-fold higher level of ANA and 2-AG is determined in the sera of patients with endotoxic shock than in normal serum, which should help in elucidating the role of the endogenous cannabinoids in the hypotension of human endotoxicshock.
Journal ArticleDOI

In vitro evidence for differential involvement of CTGF, TGFbeta, and PDGF-BB in mesangial response to injury.

TL;DR: It appears that CTGF is specifically involved in a subset of the adaptive changes of MC involved in mesangial repair and sclerosis, which makes it an interesting candidate target for future intervention strategies.
