| Research Abstract |
1.Comparison of reaction propagator activity to glycation.
When 3-deoxyglucosone (3DG) was incubated with serum of rats, most of 3Dg readily reacted with components of serum.
2.Chemical pathway of propagator formation.
^<14>C-Glucose was orally continuously administered to rats. Eight days after oral administration, ^<14>C-3-Deoxyfructose (3DF) which is a metabolite of 3DG, was detected by TLC-autoradiography.
3.Identification and distribution of reaction propagator in tissue.
Endogeneous 3DF was detected and identified in the urine of rats by oral administration of 3DG-free feed.
4.Reaction mechanism of propagator.
2-(delta-N-ornithy1)-5-{1-(2,3,4-trihydroxybuty1)}-4-imidazolone was identified in the reaction system of 3DG and N-alpha-benzoylarginine amide.
5.Self-defense mechanism against glycation.
Aldose reductase was purified and characterized from porcine liver as one of 3DG-metabolizing enzymes. 2-Oxoaldehyde reductase was detected in all chicken organs in which liver had highest activity, by using polyclonal antibody for 2-oxoaldehyde reductase purified from chicken liver. 3DG-modified BSA was recognized by the type I macrophage scavenger receptor expressed on COS cells.
