| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
There have been several reports that diabetic retinopathy is treated by inhibitors of renin-angiotensin system (RAS).We previously showed that low-protein diet suppressed expression of RAS related genes in control mice.Then, we thought the possibility that the low-protein diet was effective for not only the kidney but also the retina. We examined how dietary protein contents affect diabetic retinopathy caused by type 2 diabetes.
As a result, under the same content of energy and fat, dietary protein content affected expression of the genes related to RAS, astrocyte and microglia.Further examination is necessary to explain the pathophysiological meanings of the alterations of the gene expression.
