Journal ArticleDOI
Production of hydrogen peroxide by polyphenols and polyphenol-rich beverages under quasi-physiological conditions.
TL;DR: The features of the H2O2-generating property of green tea, black tea, and coffee were in good agreement with that of phenolic compounds, suggesting that polyphenols are responsible for the generation of H2 O2 in beverages.
Journal ArticleDOI
Covalent modification of proteins by green tea polyphenol (-)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate through autoxidation.
Takeshi Ishii,Taiki Mori,Tomoko Tanaka,Daisuke Mizuno,Ryoichi Yamaji,Shigenori Kumazawa,Tsutomu Nakayama,Mitsugu Akagawa +7 more
TL;DR: It is proposed that the covalent modification of proteins by EGCG may be a novel pathway related to the biological activity of EGC G, which has various beneficial properties including chemopreventive, anticarcinogenic, and antioxidant actions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Proteomic Analysis of Wheat Flour Allergens
TL;DR: A more detailed and comprehensive characterization of the wheat allergens involved in food allergy to wheat using proteomic strategies, referred to as "allergenomics", is achieved and nine subunits of LMW glutenins were identified as the most predominant IgE-binding antigens.
Journal ArticleDOI
Measurement of Glucose Uptake in Cultured Cells
Norio Yamamoto,Manabu Ueda-Wakagi,Takuya Sato,Kengo Kawasaki,Keisuke Sawada,Kyuichi Kawabata,Mitsugu Akagawa,Hitoshi Ashida +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, a brief overview of glucose uptake assays in cultured cells is presented, including a method for measuring glucose uptake using radiolabeled 3-O-methylglucose.
Journal ArticleDOI
Human Serum Albumin as an Antioxidant in the Oxidation of ()-Epigallocatechin Gallate: Participation of Reversible Covalent Binding for Interaction and Stabilization
Takeshi Ishii,Tatsuya Ichikawa,Kanako Minoda,Koji Kusaka,Sohei Ito,Yukiko Suzuki,Mitsugu Akagawa,Kazuki Mochizuki,Toshinao Goda,Tsutomu Nakayama +9 more
TL;DR: The results suggest the reversible covalent modification of EGCg via Schiff-base formation, and that the immobilization of E GCg to HSA, through the formation of a stable complex, prevented the polymerization and decomposition ofEGCg in human serum.
