From the authors: “Our findings provide a mechanistic understanding of how [epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EET)] prevent kidney fibrogenesis during obstructive nephropathy and suggest that EET treatment may be a potential therapeutic strategy to treat fibrotic diseases.”
This study is highlighted as one of February’s “best of the best” as part of the American Physiological Society’s APSselect program.
