Abstract
Recent studies have shown that bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs), particularly BMP-7, have an inhibitory role in the development of various renal diseases. We previously reported antagonistic effects of BMPs on renal mesangial cell proliferation induced by aldosterone (Aldo) in vitro. In the present study, we investigated in vivo roles of BMPs in Aldo-induced renal glomerular injury. BALB/c mice aged 6 weeks were treated with Aldo injection (5...
