In contrast, if RBCs were loaded with human hexokinase, they showed a doubled glycolytic activity, a normal hexose monophosphate pathway, and normal ATP and 2,3-BPG concentrations ( Furthermore, as the 2,3-BPG concentration decreases and hemoglobin affinity for O 2 increases, there is also an accumulation of reactive species of oxygen (ROS) due to the impaired RBCs antioxidant capability (Yoshida et al., 2019)

While a fibrotic matrix initially contributes to tissue repair, after injury, chronic and persistent kidney damage in the development of CKD leads to uncontrolled fibrotic matrix deposition, resulting in reduced blood supply, destruction of normal organ structure, and eventual glomerulosclerosis, renal tubular atrophy, and interstitial fibrosis [9, 10]
In addition, activated B cells in RA patient peripheral blood drive inflammatory T helper cell activation and cytokine production via the ICOS-ICOSL pathway, while concomitantly upregulating T cell Glut1 expression to enhance glucose uptake (155)
Furthering this, glutathione can support the plasma membrane transport of toxins for example through the formation of glutathione S-conjugates
