Funded Activity Summary

Diabetes damages blood vessels through the actions of hormones, possibly including new hormones such as urotensin II. I intend to investigate whether stopping the actions of urotensin II will prevent blood vessel and kidney damage in diabetes. By determining how urotensin II may cause the injury and thus prevent it from causing damage, I will be able to discover new targets for treatment that could reduce, or even prevent the progression of the blood vessel and kidney damage seen in diabetes.
