Protective role of fructokinase blockade in the pathogenesis of acute kidney injury in mice

Protective role of fructokinase blockade in the pathogenesis of acute kidney injury in mice

The polyol pathway, which converts glucose into sorbitol and fructose, is active in chronic conditions like hepatic steatosis and chronic kidney disease. Here, Andres-Hernandoet al. show that fructose production promotes renal injury and fructokinase inhibition protects against kidney damage during...
