Urine represents an ideal source of clinically relevant biomarkers since it contains a large number of proteins and low molecular weight peptides. Characterization of the normal urinary proteome and p
Background: The cytoprotective effect of heme oxygenase (HO)-1 in various forms of renal glomerular injury is established. However, little is known on the role of HO-1 in preserving glomerular structu
Urine is a readily and noninvasively obtainable body fluid. Mass spectrometry (MS)-based proteomics has shown that urine contains thousands of proteins. Urine is a potential source of biomarkers for d
