Protein Modification by Methylglyoxal: Chemical Nature and Synthetic Mechanism of a Major Fluorescent Adduct

Reads0
Chats0
TLDR
It is indicated that argpyrimidine is synthesized through an intermediate 3-hydroxypentane-2,4-dione and provide a chemical basis for fluorescence in proteins modified by methylglyoxal, suggesting that it is a major product in such modified proteins.

Advanced Glycation End Products and Oxidative Stress in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

TL;DR: A review will highlight the involvement of AGEs in the development and progression of T2DM and their role in diabetic complications and the role of oxidative stress in hyperglycemia-induced tissue injury.

Mechanisms of maturation and ageing of collagen

TL;DR: An understanding of these mechanisms is now leading to the development of inhibitors of glycation and compounds capable of cleaving the cross-links, thus alleviating the devastating effects of ageing.

Advanced glycoxidation and lipoxidation end products (AGEs and ALEs): An overview of their mechanisms of formation

TL;DR: The aim of the present review is to group the main AGEs and ALEs and to describe, for each of them, the precursors and mechanisms of formation.

Role of reactive aldehyde in cardiovascular diseases.

TL;DR: The protein-bound aldehydes can be detected as constituents not only in in vitro oxidized low-density lipoproteins but also in animal models of atherosclerosis and in human patients with increased risk factors or clinical manifestations of Atherosclerosis, indicating that they could indeed be involved in the caldiovascular pathology.
Journal ArticleDOI

Glycoxidation and lipoxidation in atherogenesis.

TL;DR: Nucleophilic AGE-inhibitors, such as aminoguanidine and pyridoxamine, which trap reactive carbonyls and inhibit the formation of AGEs in diabetes, also trap bioactive lipids and precursors of ALEs in atherosclerosis.

RAGE and amyloid-β peptide neurotoxicity in Alzheimer's disease

TL;DR: Evidence is presented that the 'receptor for advanced glycation end products' (RAGE) is such a receptor, and that it mediates effects of the peptide on neurons and microglia and indicates that it is relevant to the pathogenesis of neuronal dysfunction and death.

Enhanced cellular oxidant stress by the interaction of advanced glycation end products with their receptors/binding proteins.

TL;DR: Data indicate that interaction of AGEs with cellular targets, such as ECs, leads to oxidant stress resulting in changes in gene expression and other cellular properties, potentially contributing to the development of vascular lesions.
