Glutaraldehyde and glyoxal cross-linked microspheres were prepared using chitosan with different molecular weights (MWs) and degrees of deacetylation (DDAs) for sustained release of centchroman under physiological conditions. The DDA in... more
The viceroy–monarch and viceroy–queen butterfly associations are classic examples of mimicry. These relationships were originally classified as Batesian, or parasitic, but were later reclassified as Müllerian, or mutalistic, based on... more
Paraformaldehyde (PFA) is the most commonly used fixative for immunostaining of cells, but has been associated with various problems, ranging from loss of antigenicity to changes in morphology during fixation. We show here that the small... more
In this study we conducted a survey of the concentrations of the major 1,2-dicarbonyl compounds in 40 commercial honey samples from 12 different floral origins. 3-Deoxyglucosone (3-DG), glyoxal (GO), and methylglyoxal (MGO) were measured,... more
Advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) are non-enzymatic protein and amino acid adducts as well as DNA adducts which form from dicarbonyls and glucose. AGE formation is enhanced in diabetes and is associated with the development of... more
Z-Phe-Ala-glyoxal (where Z is benzyloxycarbonyl) has been synthesized and shown to be a competitive inhibitor of papain with a Ki = 3.30±0.25nM. 13C-NMR has been used to show that in aqueous media, Z-Phe-[2-13C]Ala-glyoxal gives signals... more
A sensitive and simple liquid chromatographic method to determine glyoxal, methylglyoxal, and diacetyl is reported. The method is based on the conversion to the corresponding pteridin derivatives (pterin, 6-methylpterin, and... more
Non-enzymatic posttranslational modifications of bovine serum albumin (BSA) by various oxo-compounds (glucose, ribose, glyoxal and glutardialdehyde) have been investigated using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and capillary... more
It is possible that metal–organic complexation enhances the uptake of gaseous organic compounds and the solubility of metals in aerosols and atmospheric water. We investigated potential atmospheric organic ligands and the enhanced uptake... more
Methylglyoxal (MG), a dicarbonyl compound produced by the fragmentation of triose phosphates, forms advanced glycation endproducts (AGEs) in vitro. Glyoxalase-I catalyzes the conversion of MG to S-D-lactoylglutathione, which in turn is... more
Tissue fixation in phosphate buffered formalin (PBF) remains the standard procedure in histopathology, since it results in an optimal structural, antigenic and molecular preservation that justifies the pivotal role presently played by... more
Clinical evidences support the relationship between carbonyl stress and type II diabetes and its related pathologies. Methylglyoxal (MGO) is the major dicarbonyl compound involved in carbonyl stress. Therefore, efforts are being made to... more
