Methylglyoxal, a Reactive Glucose Metabolite, Induces Bladder Overactivity in Addition to Inflammation in Mice

Diabetic bladder dysfunction (DBD) is one of the most common complication of diabetes. Methylglyoxal (MGO), a highly reactive dicarbonyl compound formed as a by-product of glycolysis, is found at high levels in plasma of diabetic patients. Here, we explored the effects of chronic administration of M...
