Journal ArticleDOI

Prevention of diabetic vascular dysfunction by guanidines. Inhibition of nitric oxide synthase versus advanced glycation end-product formation.

TL;DR: A role for a relative or absolute increase in NO production in the pathogenesis of early diabetic vascular dysfunction is suggested and the possibility that inhibition of diabetic vascular functional changes by aminoguanidine may reflect inhibition of NO synthase activity rather than, or in addition to, prevention of AGE formation is raised.
Journal ArticleDOI

Endogenous fructose production and metabolism in the liver contributes to the development of metabolic syndrome

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that mice unable to metabolize fructose are protected from an increase in energy intake and body weight, visceral obesity, fatty liver, elevated insulin levels and hyperleptinemia after exposure to 10% glucose for 14 weeks and concluded that endogenous fructose generation and metabolism in the liver represents an important mechanism whereby glucose promotes the development of metabolic syndrome.
Journal ArticleDOI

Temperature-dependent Chaperone Activity and Structural Properties of Human αA- and αB-crystallins

TL;DR: In this paper, the chaperone activity and biophysical properties of recombinant human alphaA- and alphaB-crystallins were studied by light scattering and spectroscopic methods.
Journal Article

Inhibition of aldose reductase by tannoid principles of Emblica officinalis: implications for the prevention of sugar cataract.

TL;DR: Results indicate that tannoids of E. officinalis are potent inhibitors of AR and suggest that exploring the therapeutic value of natural ingredients that people can incorporate into everyday life may be an effective approach in the management of diabetic complications.
