Relationship between protein carbonyls and heat shock protein 60 (Hsp60) in lymphocytes from diabetic nephropathic patients. Lymphocyte samples from 21 patients with nephropathy secondary to type 2 diabetes and 16 age-matched controls were assayed for both protein carbonyls (DNPH) and Hsp60 as described in Figures 2 and 5, respectively. A significant linear positive correlation has been found. Data are expressed as densitometric units (D.U.). Control subjects had a DNPH level ranging from 20 to 70 D.U
