Abstract
Chronic exposure to reactive carbonyl species such as glyoxal and methylglyoxal, along with hydroxyl radicals (•OH), leads to glycative and oxidative damage, contributing to insulin resistance and diabetic complications. Pyridoxamine (PM) is known to counteract these effects, but its potential synergy with mannitol (MN), a hydroxyl radical scavenger, remains unexplored. This study investigates the combined efficacy of MN and PM in preventing glycation and oxidative damage in vitro.
Calf thymus DNA was subjected to glycation using 10 mM glyoxal, oxidation via the Fenton reaction, and sequential glycoxidation (glycation followed by oxidation). The inhibitory effects of MN, PM, and their combination were assessed using NBT reduction for early glycation, GK-ribose for AGEs, TBARS for hydroxyl radicals, and spectroscopic analyses for AGEs formation. A clinical study also examined autoantibody prevalence in diabetes and diabetic retinopathy (DR).
Results showed that glycoxidated DNA exhibited structural alterations, with MN and PM individually reducing ketoamine content. Their combination further enhanced glycation and glycoxidation inhibition. Additionally, MN-PM co-administration synergistically reduced AGEs and hydroxyl radicals. Autoantibody levels were elevated in diabetes and DR. These findings suggest PM-MN co-administration as a promising strategy to mitigate diabetic complications.
期刊介绍:
The journal''s title Analytical Biochemistry: Methods in the Biological Sciences declares its broad scope: methods for the basic biological sciences that include biochemistry, molecular genetics, cell biology, proteomics, immunology, bioinformatics and wherever the frontiers of research take the field.
The emphasis is on methods from the strictly analytical to the more preparative that would include novel approaches to protein purification as well as improvements in cell and organ culture. The actual techniques are equally inclusive ranging from aptamers to zymology.
The journal has been particularly active in:
-Analytical techniques for biological molecules-
Aptamer selection and utilization-
Biosensors-
Chromatography-
Cloning, sequencing and mutagenesis-
Electrochemical methods-
Electrophoresis-
Enzyme characterization methods-
Immunological approaches-
Mass spectrometry of proteins and nucleic acids-
Metabolomics-
Nano level techniques-
Optical spectroscopy in all its forms.
The journal is reluctant to include most drug and strictly clinical studies as there are more suitable publication platforms for these types of papers.
