Some researchers found that the expression of phosphofurin acidic cluster sorting protein 2 (PACS-2), a key regulator of MAM formation, was significantly reduced in renal tubules of DN patients, and PACS-2 was found to attenuate renal tubular injury through advancing MAM formation and mitophagy in a cellular model of HG-induced HK-2 and PACS-2 overexpression, and in a mouse model of STZ-induced PACS-2 knockout [121]
Lose weight or address body composition changes: Ask your clinician about GLP-1s (like semaglutide or tirzepatide), other meds like Contrave or metformin, supplements like berberine, and other lifestyle strategies
