Cardiovascular complications are the leading cause of death in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). The uraemic heart is characterised by cellular and structural remodelling, including left ventricular hypertrophy LVH), which contribute to hea...

Insulin resistance and altered glucose transporter 4 expression in experimental uremia (2009)
Journal Article
Aksentijevi?, D., Bhandari, S., & Seymour, A. M. L. (2009). Insulin resistance and altered glucose transporter 4 expression in experimental uremia. Kidney International, 75(7), (711-718). doi:10.1038/ki.2008.691. ISSN 0085-2538

Progressive ventricular hypertrophy can lead to the development of insulin resistance, a feature of both chronic kidney disease and heart failure. Here we induced uremia in adult male Sprague-Dawley rats using a remnant kidney model and studied the e...
