Bioactive Components from Ginger, Tea and Apple Prevent Protein Glycation by Trapping Methylglyoxal with Potential in Alleviation of Diabetic Complications
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Diabetes is the fifth-deadliest disease in the United States. Most diabetes patients die from diabetic complications, such as renal failure, heart attack or stroke. However, diabetic complications are still neither preventable ...
Specific bioactive compounds in ginger and apple alleviate hyperglycemia in mice with high fat diet-induced obesity via Nrf2 mediated pathway
(
Elsevier
, 2017 , Article)
Prolonged hyperglycemia activates the formation of advanced glycation end-products (AGEs). Major
dicarbonyl compounds such as methylglyoxal or glyoxal are found to be the main precursors of AGEs
and N(e)-(carboxymethyl)lysine ...
Green tea epigallocatechin 3-gallate alleviates hyperglycemia and reduces advanced glycation end products via nrf2 pathway in mice with high fat diet-induced obesity
(

, 2017 , Article)
Abstract Epigallocatechin 3-gallate (EGCG) from green tea may reduce plasma glucose and alleviate complications of diabetes by attenuating advanced glycation end products (AGEs) formation. We hypothesized that EGCG would ...
In vitro and in vivo inhibition of aldose reductase and advanced glycation end products by phloretin, epigallocatechin 3-gallate and [6]-gingerol
