age role
9.The levels of△RANTES was also correlated positively with the levels of△AGE-P (r=0.84, P<0.001). Conclusions: Pioglitazone reduces the serum AGE-P and RANTES levels elevated in the patients with type 2 diabetic nephropathy. It suggests that pioglitazone might play the role of reno-protection via suppression of the AGEs and RANTES.
10.The Guanshan fauna is a Burgess shale-type fauna composed of diverse groups of soft-body metazoans and its age is placed between those of the Chengjiang fauna Kaili fauna. This fauna plays a role of linking the previous fauna with the succeeding fauna and has great significance in the study of the explosion of the Cambrian lives and Early Cambrian biotic evolution.
