Low-molecular-weight chitosan scavenges methylglyoxal and N(ε)-(carboxyethyl)lysine, the major factors contributing to the pathogenesis of nephropathy

Methylglyoxal (MG) can cause protein glycation, resulting in cell damage and dysfunction. Accumulation of MG and its downstream metabolite N(ε)-(carboxyethyl)lysine (CEL) has been identified in several variations of nephropathy, including diabetic, hypertensive, and gentamicin-induced nephropathies....
