What is it about?

It was found that prednisolone successfully alleviated inflammation and interstitial renal fibrosis and then inhibited glycolysis, which consequently led to reduce methylglyoxal, GLO1, and D-lactate, as well as other glycolysis-related proteins.

Why is it important?

Our findings support that inhibition of glycolysis might be one of the mechanisms in prednisolone treatment for aristolochic acid nephropathy. These glycolysis parameters (methylglyoxal, GLO1, and D-lactate) increased in the chronic aristolochic acid nephropathy, which were quite different from acute kidney injury model.
