Glycated proteins in diabetes

Abstract:
The effects produced by the glycation of protein by glucose and fructose are discussed, with emphasis on the products that can be isolated from diabetic subjects, or prepared in vitro under physiological conditions. Damage caused by Amadori product and advanced glycation end-products at the molecular level is described, together with evidence linking this damage to diabetic complications. Difficulties in monitoring in vivo glycation, and possibilities for antiglycation therapy are reviewed critically.

Pathophysiology of Diabetes
Type 1 diabetes is characterized by autoimmune-mediated destruction of pancreatic β cells, with environmental factors potentially triggering this process in genetically susceptible individuals. Despite many not having a family history, certain genes increase susceptibility, suggesting a...
