An international study published in Science Translational Medicine involving the Hospital del Mar Research Institute and the Vall d'Hebron Research Institute shows that there are substantial differences between men and women in the energy metabolism of renal tubular cells. In men with diabetes, more markers of oxidative stress in cells and processes linked to cell death are detected, which may predispose to diabetic nephropathy. The work may provide tools to personalize the treatment and evolution of people with diabetes and kidney disease, as well as to detect possible therapeutic targets based on this fact.
