Deskripsi
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 ischaemic acute kidney disease.
