Deskripsi

Renal fibrosis is the main pathological feature of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Here, the authors show that live B. fragilis can attenuate renal fibrosis via the upregulation of SGLT2, which contributes to renal reabsorption of 1,5-AG, and that 1,5-AG improves renal fibrosis via inhibition of oxidative stress and inflammation.
