The relationship between plasma malondialdehyde (MDA) and metabolic parameters in type I and II diabetic subjects have been studied at different levels of glycemic control. In 67 diabetics (20 type I, 47 type II, aged 53 ± 1.2) and 40 healthy subjects (aged 47 ± 1.75), triglycerides (TG), total cholesterol (CT) and C-HDL, fasting blood glucose...

Carbonyl groups result from protein oxidation and their level in tissues and plasma is a relatively stable marker of oxidative damage. Carbonyl content of plasma proteins in 43 type 2 diabetic subjects, 30-87 years of age (25 males and 18 females) and in 20 age-matched healthy controls (31-89 years of age, 12 males and 8 females) was evaluated...

An increase of all fluorescence intensities was observed in rat collagen during aging: the glycation-related ones (y(370/440) = 28.3 e(0.08x), r = 0.808, p < 0.01; y(335/385) = 66.7 e(0.06x), r = 0.798, p < 0.01) and the hydroxynonenal adduct-related (y(356/460) = 44.3 e(0.06x), r = 0.810, p < 0.01) were exponential, whereas that derived from...
