Naama does amazing work and she is a terrific person to work with. Highly recommended!

Here we show that buildup of uremic toxins during CKD generates nitrate in the colon. Nitrate supports expansion of Enterobacteriaceae, turning them into a major source of uremic toxins. Inhibiting nitrate production (iNOS inhibition) mitigates disease progression. www.science.org/eprint/YGNMK...
