PRDX2 and diabetic kidney disease: Treatment with Torin, activated mitophagy, promoted positive morphological changes in the glomeruli and reduced apoptosis, evidenced by reduced levels of c-Caspase-3, Bax/Bcl2, and cytosol cytochrome C. Diabetic nephropathy was exacerbated, and Torin was not protective when PINK1/Parkin mediated mitophagy was inhibited.
