MAP3K5 and diabetic kidney disease: A recent study revealed that inhibition of apoptosis signal‐regulating kinase 1 (ASK1), which induces apoptotic, fibrotic and inflammatory signalling in states of oxidative stress, reduces inflammation and fibrosis and prevents the reduction of the glomerular filtration rate in rodent models of DKD.55 This supports the hypothesis of beneficial effects of reducing oxidative stress in DKD.
