The transition from animal- to plant-derived dietary proteins is of global importance. Plant proteins are normally processed into extracts, and due to the type of process, proteins from the globulin class are mainly extracted. Such extractions have

BACKGROUND Glycated albumin (GA), the non-enzymatic glycation product of albumin in plasma, became a glycemic marker in the beginning of the 21st century. The assay is not affected by hemoglobin levels and reflects the glycemic status over a shorter

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic and metabolic disease that presents a high global incidence. Glycated hemoglobin (A1C) is the reference test for long-term glucose monitoring, and it exhibits an association with diabetic chronic complications. However,

Aim To understand the mechanism of glycation of albumin and effects on cysteinylation and methionine oxidation. Methods The in vitro glycation of HSA and BSA was studied with varying concentrations of glucose. Clinical blood samples of diabetic subjects

Protein glycosylation is an essential co- and post-translational modification of secretory and membrane proteins in all eukaryotes. The initial steps of N-glycosylation and N-glycan processing are highly conserved between plants, mammals and yeast. In

The presence of excess glucose in blood is regarded as a sweet hurt for patients with diabetes. Human serum albumin (HSA) is the most abundant protein in human plasma, which undergoes severe non-enzymatic glycation with glucose in patients with diabetes;
