Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEffects of L-Carnitine and Cinnamon Extract Treatment on Lens Crystallins of Rats Fed High Fructose DietMohamed H. Mahfouz, Amany Abd El-Ghaffar, Mona A. Mohamed, Hala M. GhanemProblem statement: Rats fed high dietary fructose are documented to form an acquired model of insulin resistance; the present study aims to investigate possible changes in lens crystallins of rats fed high fructose diet and the effects of administration of each exogenous L-Carnitine (CA) and Cinnamon Extract (CE) on protein glycation, oxidative stress and redox homeostasis in this rat model. … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 3 Aug 2011 · 8,711 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsAdvanced Oxidation Protein Products in Aged with DementiaMelike Erol Demirbilek, Nedret Kilic, H. Ferhan Komurcu, K. Okhan AkinThe role of increased oxidative stress in the development of oxidative protein damage in aging have been reported. There is an important role of oxidative stress on development of dementia. Advanced oxidation protein products (AOPPs) are novel markers of oxidative stress. The aim of this study was to compare AOPP levels in healthy aged person and aged person with dementia. … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,256 accessesView PDF Cite

Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Comprehensive Review of Traditional Antidiabetic Plants Used for Diabetes Management in South AfricaLaverdure Tchamani Piame, Constance Rusike, Yandiswa Yolanda YakoIn the wake of a global resurgence in complementary and alternative medicine, South African flora stands out for its wealth of species long employed in traditional treatments for diabetes. This review evaluates scientific advances in the anti-diabetic potential of traditional medicinal plants harvested in South Africa.

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of D- and L-Glucose and Mannitol on Retinal Capillary Cells: Inhibition by Nanomolar AminoguanidineYongxin Yu, Wei Li, Barbara Wojciechowski et al.Hyperglycemia may contribute directly to pericyte loss and capillary leakage in early diabetic retinopathy. To elucidate relative contributions of glycation, glycoxidation, sugar autoxidation, osmotic stress and metabolic effects in glucose-mediated capillary damage, we tested the effects of D-glucose, L-glucose, mannitol and the potentially protective effects of aminoguanidine on cultured bovine retinal capillary pericytes and endothelial cells. Media (containing 5 mM … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,749 accessesView PDF Cite
