Purpose: To study the effect of dexmedetomidine (Dex) on AKTERK signaling pathway and EMT- related proteins in high glucose-induced apoptosis human kidney tubular epithelial cells.
 Methods: HK-2 cells were assigned to control, high-glucose Dex groups. Levels ROS determined using live cell station. Flow cytometry was used measure cycle while Western blot applied assay levels PI3K, A...
