In a recently published study, Vigna angularis administration mitigated kidney injury by increasing the expression of glutathione (GSH) and light chain 3B II (LC3B-II), as well as reducing the expression of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), p47phox (NADPH oxidase subunit), and p62/sequestosome 1 (p62) in STZ-induced DN rats [86]. Here, HMOX1 is linked to liver dysplastic nodule.
