1 results about "Calcium deposition" patented technology

This invention discloses the application of limonene in the preparation of drugs for alleviating or improving vascular calcification. Intervention with limonene in CKD mouse models and primary vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) significantly inhibited aortic calcification in CKD mice, significantly reduced high-phosphorus-induced osteogenic differentiation and calcium deposition in VSMCs, inhibited reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, reduced cellular iron accumulation, and alleviated ferroptosis. The findings of this application are highly likely to provide effective clinical drugs for the prevention and treatment of vascular calcification in CKD.
