How the Body’s Internal Clock and Bmal1 Protein May Influence Diabetic Kidney Disease

Updated

Abstract

Circadian disruption in diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is associated with abnormal rhythms in blood glucose, lipids, and pressure.

  • Circadian rhythms play a significant role in the progression of diabetic kidney disease.
  • The core clock gene BMAL1 is linked to processes such as urinary protein excretion and irregular blood pressure in DKD.
  • Interactions between BMAL1, Sirt1, and NF-κB may influence mechanisms underlying DKD.
  • Novel pharmacological and behavioral strategies could be developed to address circadian rhythm disturbances in DKD.
  • The review highlights potential molecular targets related to circadian rhythms for future DKD research.
