Effects of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D_3 on high glucose-induced expression of uncoupling protein 2 and oxidative stress in human renal tubular epithelial cells

Objective To study the effects of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3on high-induced expression of uncoupling protein 2 and oxidative stress in human renal tubular epithelial cells.Methods The HK-2 cells with different culture media were divided into normal glucose group (NG group,5.5 mmol/L D-glucose) ;high glucose group (HG group,30 mmol/L D-glucose) ;mannitol group (MG group,5.5 mmol/L D-glucose+24.5 mmol/L manni-
