Abstract

Dugan et al. reported model of a feed-forward cycle involving decreased AMPK activity and decreased mitochondrial biogenesis caused by decreased ROS as a proposed mechanism involved in the pathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy. However, in this commentary, we proposed an alternate model of a feed-forward cycle involving decreased AMPK activity and decreased mitochondrial biogenesis caused by increased mitochondrial ROS.
