(author), Bakker, S.J.L. (author)Diabetic nephropathy is now the most common cause of end-stage renal failure in many countries of the world. Despite increasing implementation of preventive treatment, the chance that an individual diabetic patient will reach end-stage renal failure has been increasing rather than decreasing during recent decades. Current dietary habits in The...article 2011

Sanders, J.S.F. (author), Huitema, M.G. (author), Hanemaaijer, R. (author), van Goor, H. (author), Kallenberg, C.G.M. (author), Stegeman, C.A. (author), TNO Kwaliteit van Leven (author)Renal expression of MMP-2, -9, and tissue inhibitor of MMP-1 (TIMP-1) correlates with histological disease activity in anti-neutrophil cytoplasm autoantibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV). We studied whether urinary and plasma levels of MMP-2, -9, and TIMP-1 reflect renal expression of these proteins and renal disease-activity in AAV. Urine...article 2007

Huls, M. (author), Kramers, C. (author), Levtchenko, E.N. (author), Wilmer, M.J.G. (author), Dijkman, H.B.P.M. (author), Kluijtmans, L.A.J. (author), van der Hoorn, J.W.A. (author), Russel, F.G.M. (author), Masereeuw, R. (author), TNO Kwaliteit van Leven (author)The multidrug resistance gene 1 product, P-glycoprotein (P-gp), is expressed in several excretory organs, including the apical membrane of proximal tubules. After inducing acute renal failure, P-gp expression is upregulated and this might be a protective function by pumping out toxicants and harmful products of oxidative stress. We characterized...article 2007

Lina, B.A.R. (author), Bos-Kuijpers, M.H.M. (author), Til, H.P. (author), Bär, A. (author)The potential toxicity and carcinogenicity of erythritol, a low-calorie sugar substitute, were examined in Wistar Crl:(WI) WU BR rats. Groups of 50 rats of each sex consumed diets with 0, 2, 5, or 10% erythritol, or 10% mannitol, for a period of 104-107 weeks. To each of these main groups, two satellite groups of 20 males each were attached for...article 1996

(author), Deckert, T. (author), Gaubius Instituut TNO (author)We investigated the effect of heparin on urinary albumin excretion in patients with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. 39 patients with persistent urinary albumin excretion of 30-300 mg/24 h were randomly treated for 3 months with subcutaneous injections twice daily of isotonic saline, 5000 IU unfractionated heparin, or 2000 anti-Xa IU low...article 1995

van Beek, L. (author), Feron, V.J. (author), de Groot, A.P. (author), Centraal Instituut voor Voedingsonderzoek TNO (author)Alkali treated spun soy isolate was fed to rats at dietary levels of 5, 10, and 20% for a period of 90 days. The results failed to reveal any adverse effects on general appearance, growth, feeding efficiency, hematological indices, blood serum values, urine composition, kidney function, organ weights, and gross and microscopic pathology except...article 1974
