| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, we examined the role of urinary NAD metabolites as a new biomarker for diabetic vascular complications, especially nephropathy. In addition, we investigated the association between SNPs of NAD-related genes and diabetic nephropathy in Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. As a result, urinary excretion levels of NAD+ and NMN were statistically correlated with eGFR. In addition, the allele frequencies of SNP and haplotypes in NNMT gene were significantly different between patients with diabetic nephropathy and those without it in the cross-sectional study, suggesting a relationship with nephropathy of NNMT gene.
