Abstract:MTT assay The chirality of amino acids affects their physiological functions. Recent studies uncovered potential physiological effects of D‐amino acids (D‐AAs) in nephropathy. Here, we explored the protective effects of exogenous D‐AAs on chronic kidney disease (CKD). First, by the 3‐(4,5‐dimethylthiazol‐2‐YI)‐2,5‐diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay it was found that among the four D‐AAs studied (D‐glutamate (D‐Glu), D‐aspartic acid (D‐Asp) being the highest content in fermented yogurt, and D‐alanine (D‐Al… Show more
