Trapping reactions of reactive carbonyl species with tea polyphenols in simulated physiological conditions.

The carbonyl stress that leads to the formation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) in diabetes mellitus has drawn much attention recently. Reactive alpha-dicarbonyl compounds, such as glyoxal (GO) and methylglyoxal (MGO), have been shown to be a high potential glycation agent in vitro and in ... View More
