Abstract excerpt
Acrolein, a highly reactive aldehyde generated endogenously through lipid peroxidation and exogenously from various environmental sources, is an important mediator of oxidative renal injury. Its accumulation in proximal tubular epithelial cells (PTECs) leads to mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress, and cell death. Aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) detoxifies reactive aldehydes; however, the common East...
