Cinnamon bark has been reported to be effective in the alleviation of diabetes through its antioxidant and insulin-potentiating activities. In this study, the inhibitory effect of cinnamon bark on… (More)
Advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) are the final products of the non-enzymatic reaction between reducing sugars and amino groups in proteins, lipids and nucleic acids. Recently, the accumulation… (More)
Advanced glycation endproducts (AGEs) are a group of complex and heterogeneous compounds formed from nonenzymatic reactions. The accumulation of AGEs in vivo has been implicated as a major pathogenic… (More)
Natural extracts have attracted considerable attention for development into effective inhibitors against the formation of genotoxic heterocyclic amines (HAs) in processed foods. In this study, four… (More)
The period of circadian rhythms often fluctuates around 24 h due to the changes of environmental factors. Actually, the period varies directly with the ambient stimuli which could be expressed as… (More)
Methylglyoxal (MGO) is a highly reactive alpha-oxoaldehyde formed endogenously in numerous enzymatic and nonenzymatic reactions. The reactions between MGO and various amino residues in proteins not… (More)
In the present study, the effects of phloretin and phloridzin on the formation of Maillard reaction products in a lysine-glucose model with different reactant ratios were systematically investigated.… (More)
Protein glycation has been implicated in the development of diabetic complications and other health disorders, which mainly arise from accumulation of advanced glycation endproducts (AGEs) in vivo.… (More)
In the present study, the dual effects of phloretin and phloridzin on methylglyoxal (MGO)-induced glycation were investigated in three N(α)-acetyl amino acid (arginine, cysteine, and lysine) models… (More)
Green and black tea extracts were employed to stabilize seal blubber oil at 60 degrees C for 140 h. On the basis of the headspace SPME-GC-MS analysis, with the addition of green/black tea extracts,… (More)
