Diabetes mellitus accelerates vascular calcification (VC) and increases the risk of end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Nevertheless, the impact of VC in renal disease progression in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is poorly understood. We addressed the effect of VC and mechanisms involved in renal dysfunction in a murine model of insulin resistance and obesity (ob/ob), comparing with their healthy littermates (C57BL/6). We analyzed VC and renal function in both mouse strains after challenging them ...[more]
