AST-120 ameliorates lowered exercise capacity and mitochondrial biogenesis in the skeletal muscle from mice with chronic kidney disease via reducing oxidative stress

Exercise capacity and quality of life are markedly impaired in chronic kidney disease (CKD). Increased plasma uremic toxins such as indoxyl sulfate (IS), which induce oxidative stress, may be involved in this process. An oral adsorbent, AST-120, can reduce circulating IS, however, its effects on ske...
