Abstract: | Using an experimental in vitro glycation model, long-term incubations of bovine serum albumin with glucose (fructose) resulted in a significant increase in protein content of 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine (DNPH)-reactive carbonyl groups, which could be strongly inhibited by anaerobiosis and metal chelation. The pattern of yields of the protein-bound DNPH was not in accordance with that of the sugar-derived carbonyls determined as the ketoamine Amadori product. In spite of the fact that the contribution of the final advanced glycation end-products to the total DNPH-reactivity of glycation-altered protein remains unclear, the present results stress the need of oxidative steps in formation of most of the DNPH-reactive carbonyl compounds generated by glycation. The results provide evidence that, in protein glycoxidation, the DNPH assay is selective enough to discriminate between protein-bound carbonyls produced by metal-catalysed oxidations and those formed in the early glycation steps. |
