Funded Activity Summary

Kidney disease is a serious complication of diabetes and may occur as a result of a biochemical process known as advanced glycation. These advanced glycation end products (AGEs) accumulate in the kidney causing disruption of function. Due to modern food processing techniques, the Australian diet has a high AGE content. Over-eating foods which are high in AGEs may worsen diabetic kidney disease. This proposal will test the effects of dietary AGE restriction and overfeeding on kidney function.
