Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) represent a class of toxic and irreversible compounds formed through non-enzymatic reactions between proteins or lipids and carbonyl compounds. AGEs can arise endogenously under normal metabolic conditions and in pathological states such as diabetes, kidney disease, and inflammatory disorders. Additionally, they can be obtained exogenously through dietary intake, particularly from foods high in fat or sugar, as well as grilled and processed items.

Alkaptonuria is an extremely rare disorder of tyrosine metabolism caused by an autosomal recessive enzymatic deficiency of homogentisic acid (HGA) oxidase, causing its accumulation in collagenous structures, especially in hyaline cartilage. It is characterized by a triad of homogentisic aciduria, bluish-black discoloration of connective tissues (ochronosis) and arthropathy of the spine and large weight-bearing joints. Several clinical manifestations were described including coronary and valvular calcification, aortic stenosis, limited chest expansion, and renal, urethral and prostate calculi as well as ocular and cutaneous pigmentation.

Diabetic kidney disease (DKD), a leading cause of end-stage renal disease (ESRD), poses a serious threat to global health. Aseptic inflammation and pyroptosis of podocytes are crucial factors contributing to the pathogenesis and progression of DKD. Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i), a novel class of antidiabetic agents widely used in clinical settings, may exert a protective effect on podocyte injury, although the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood.

Background And Aims: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is associated with altered mucus and increased intestinal permeability (IP). Prior reports on permeability in IBD typically used lactulose-to-mannitol ratio (LMR). Food contamination with 12C-mannitol is a significant potential confounder in IP assessment.
