Bioenergetic profiling of fresh human kidney tissue reveals compensatory metabolic adaptation and intrinsic mitochondrial dysfunction in diabetes

The kidney is a highly energetic organ, requiring substantial ATP production through mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation to support tubular reabsorption.

The kidney is a highly energetic organ, requiring substantial ATP production through mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation to support tubular reabsorption. Metabolic reprogramming and impaired mitochondrial function are implicated in diabetic kidney disease, yet direct…
