In the beagle dog model induced by the combination of alloxan and STZ, the levels of BNIP3, NIX, and FUNDC1 were significantly upregulated, indicating that DKD can induce non-ubiquitin-dependent mitophagy, and N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC) treatment reduced the levels of BNIP3, NIX, and FUNDC1, suggesting that NAC can alleviate mitophagy and reduce kidney damage in DKD [154]
This keeps treatment safe, predictable, and aligned with each patients goals
