Kidney mitochondrial ATPase activity was not significantly affected by hyperglycaemia or curcumin; thus, ATPase activity was similar between curcumin-treated diabetic, untreated diabetic and wild type mice (5.8 ± 0.17, 5.3 ± 0.23 and 6.0 ± 0.2 nmoles Pi/mg prot·min) (Figure 3). This evidence concerns the gene DNAH8 and Hyperglycemia.
