Gestational Ketosis Compromises Nephron Endowment and Long-Term Kidney Function in Offspring
Listen to this summary
The authors investigate the impact of maternal ketosis, induced by a ketogenic diet or β-hydroxybutyrate supplementation, on fetal kidney development and long-term kidney function in offspring. Their findings reveal that maternal ketosis leads to a significant reduction in nephron number and impaired kidney function in offspring, attributed to disrupted nephrogenesis through the suppression of c-Myc signaling and activation of inflammatory pathways in nephron progenitor cells.

"Oslr has become part of my weekly routine on my day off. The clinical relevance of the summaries is outstanding — I'd rate it 9/10. Being able to consume research hands-free is a huge advantage for busy physicians."
