概要

Scavenging of active oxygen species by glycated proteins was investigated. Glycated proteins were prepared from bovine serum albumin (BSA), insulin, and lysozyme incubated with glucose. Glyated BSA at concentration of 0.5% scavenged 34% of hydroxyl radicals by ESR experiments using DMPO as a spin-trapping reagent. The ability to scavenge hydroxyl radicals by glycated BSA was higher than that by BSA. Hydrogen peroxides also were largely scavenged with an increase in the concentration of glycated proteins. However, the ability to scavenge superoxides by glycated BSA was lower than that by BSA because glycated proteins produced superoxides. Experiments using model compounds such as Amadori compound and caproyl pyrraline suggested that the scavenging ability of glycated proteins against hydroxyl radicals depends on Maillard reaction products in the advanced stage, while the ability against hydrogen peroxides is dependent upon Maillard reaction products in the early stage and brown pigments.
