TLDR
GA is a ketoamine formed via a non-enzymatic glycation reaction of serum albumin and it reflects mean glycemia over two to three weeks and is useful as part of a routine examination to screen for both diabetes and atherosclerosis.

Human serum albumin, systemic inflammation, and cirrhosis

TL;DR: Human serum albumin (HSA) is one of the most frequent treatments in patients with decompensated cirrhosis, and its ability to bind lipopolysaccharide and other bacterial products, reactive oxygen species, nitric oxide and other nitrogen reactive species, and prostaglandins is an outstanding feature.

Cys34-cysteinylated human serum albumin is a sensitive plasma marker in oxidative stress-related chronic diseases

TL;DR: In conclusion, ESI-TOFMS is a suitable high throughput method for the rapid and sensitive quantification of Cys-Cys34-HSA in a large number of samples for evaluating oxidative stress related chronic disease progression or in response to a treatment.

Glycated albumin: a potential biomarker in diabetes.

TL;DR: The glycated albumin (GA) is a test that reflects short-term glycemia and is not influenced by situations that falsely alter A1C levels, which have ensured its laboratory characteristics have ensured the highlight of GA in studies from the last decade.
Journal ArticleDOI

Are there better alternatives than haemoglobin A1c to estimate glycaemic control in the chronic kidney disease population

TL;DR: Although reference values of HbA1C might be different in patients with chronic kidney disease, it still remains the cornerstone as follow-up of longer term glycaemic control, as most clinical trials have used it as reference.
Journal ArticleDOI

Advanced glycation endproducts increase proliferation, migration and invasion of the breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231

TL;DR: AGEs might contribute to breast cancer development and progression partially through the regulation of MMP-9 activity and RAGE signal activation and may represent promising targets for drug therapy to treat diabetic patients with breast cancer.

Intensive blood-glucose control with sulphonylureas or insulin compared with conventional treatment and risk of complications in patients with type 2 diabetes (UKPDS 33)

R C Turner, +398 more
- 12 Sep 1998 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of intensive blood-glucose control with either sulphonylurea or insulin and conventional treatment on the risk of microvascular and macrovascular complications in patients with type 2 diabetes in a randomised controlled trial were compared.

Intensive blood-glucose control with sulphonylureas or insulin compared with conventional treatment and risk of complications in patients with type 2 diabetes (UKPDS 33). UK Prospective Diabetes Study (UKPDS) Group.

TL;DR: The effects of intensive blood-glucose control with either sulphonylurea or insulin and conventional treatment on the risk of microvascular and macrovascular complications in patients with type 2 diabetes in a randomised controlled trial were compared.

C-Reactive Protein, Interleukin 6, and Risk of Developing Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

TL;DR: Elevated levels of CRP and IL-6 predict the development of type 2 DM, and data support a possible role for inflammation in diabetogenesis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Intensive insulin therapy prevents the progression of diabetic microvascular complications in Japanese patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus: a randomized prospective 6-year study.

TL;DR: In conclusion, intensive glycemic control by multiple insulin injection therapy can delay the onset and the progression of diabetic retinopathy, nephropathy and neuropathy in Japanese patients with NIDDM.

International Expert Committee Report on the Role of the A1C Assay in the Diagnosis of Diabetes

TL;DR: Kilpatrick et al. as mentioned in this paper discussed the limitations of the A1C assay for populations in which it is not available or is currently too expensive, as well as for individuals in whom the assay may be misleading.
