(
Elsevier Ltd.
, 2015 , Article)
Peanut allergy is a severe and lifelong type of food allergy triggered by allergenic proteins and peptides in peanuts. This study investigated the effects of ultrasound-assisted alcalase treatment on the concentrations of ...
Bioactive compounds isolated from apple, tea, and ginger protect against dicarbonyl induced stress in cultured human retinal epithelial cells
(
Elsevier
, 2016 , Article)
Abstract BackgroundMethylglyoxal (MGO) is known to be a major precursor of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) which are linked to diabetes and its related complications. Naturally occurring bioactive compounds could ...
Green tea epigallocatechin 3-gallate alleviates hyperglycemia and reduces advanced glycation end products via nrf2 pathway in mice with high fat diet-induced obesity
(
Elsevier
, 2017 , Article)
Abstract Epigallocatechin 3-gallate (EGCG) from green tea may reduce plasma glucose and alleviate complications of diabetes by attenuating advanced glycation end products (AGEs) formation. We hypothesized that EGCG would ...
Specific bioactive compounds in ginger and apple alleviate hyperglycemia in mice with high fat diet-induced obesity via Nrf2 mediated pathway
(
Elsevier
, 2017 , Article)
Prolonged hyperglycemia activates the formation of advanced glycation end-products (AGEs). Major
dicarbonyl compounds such as methylglyoxal or glyoxal are found to be the main precursors of AGEs
and N(e)-(carboxymethyl)lysine ...
In vitro and in vivo inhibition of aldose reductase and advanced glycation end products by phloretin, epigallocatechin 3-gallate and [6]-gingerol
(
Elsevier
, 2016 , Article)
Abstract Hyperglycemic stress activates polyol pathway and aldose reductase (AR) key enzyme responsible for generating secondary complications during diabetes. In this study the therapeutic potential of phloretin, ...
Tea flavanols block advanced glycation of lens crystallins induced by dehydroascorbic acid
(
American Chemical Society
, 2015 , Article)
Growing evidence has shown that ascorbic acid (ASA) can contribute to protein glycation and the formation of
advanced glycation end products (AGEs), especially in the lens. The mechanism by which ascorbic acid can cause ...
