Being one of the main proteins in the human body and many animal species, albumin plays
a decisive role in the transport of various ions—electrically neutral and charged molecules …

Glycation is both a physiological and pathological process which mainly affects proteins,
nucleic acids and lipids. Exogenous and endogenous glycation produces deleterious …

Free radicals are a normal component of cellular oxygen metabolism in mammals. However,
free radical-associated damage is an important factor in many pathological processes …

Oxidative stress and protein modifications are frequently observed in numerous disease
states. Glucose constitutes a vital nutrient necessary to cellular oxygen metabolism …

As a carrier of many biologically active compounds, blood is exposed to oxidants to a
greater extent than the intracellular environment. Serum albumin plays a key role in …

We present the first demonstration of glycated albumin detection and quantification using
Raman spectroscopy without the addition of reagents. Glycated albumin is an important …

Plasma medicine is an upcoming research area that has attracted the scientists to explore
more deeply the utility of plasma. So, apart from the treating biomaterials and tissues with …

Background The accumulation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) in body tissue
has been implicated in the progression of age-related diseases. Inhibition of AGE formation …

AIM: Albumin, a major protein in the blood circulation, can undergo increased glycation in
diabetes. From recent studies, it has become evident that glycation has important …

Regarding the involvement of free radicals and oxidative reactions in protein glycoxidation
processes, compounds with antioxidant activities have been tested in order to reduce or to …
