Since the accumulation of N(epsilon)-(carboxymethyl)lysine (CML), a major antigenic advanced glycation end product, is implicated in tissue disorders in hyperglycemia and inflammation, the identification of the pathway of CML formation will provide important information regarding the development of potential therapeutic strategies for these complications. The present study was designed to measure the effect of hypochlorous acid (HOCl) on CML formation from Amadori products. The incubation of glycated human serum albumin (glycated-HSA), a model of Amadori products, with HOCl led to CML formation, and an increasing HOCl concentration and decreasing pH, which mimics the formation of these products in inflammatory lesions. CML formation was also observed when glycated-HSA was incubated with activated neutrophils, and was completely inhibited in the presence of an HOCl scavenger. These data demonstrated that HOCl-mediated CML formation from Amadori products plays a role in CML formation and tissue damage at sites of inflammation.

D010084 Oxidation-Reduction A chemical reaction in which an electron is transferred from one molecule to another. The electron-donating molecule is the reducing agent or reductant; the electron-accepting molecule is the oxidizing agent or oxidant. Reducing and oxidizing agents function as conjugate reductant-oxidant pairs or redox pairs (Lehninger, Principles of Biochemistry, 1982, p471). Redox,Oxidation Reduction
D002851 Chromatography, High Pressure Liquid Liquid chromatographic techniques which feature high inlet pressures, high sensitivity, and high speed. Chromatography, High Performance Liquid,Chromatography, High Speed Liquid,Chromatography, Liquid, High Pressure,HPLC,High Performance Liquid Chromatography,High-Performance Liquid Chromatography,UPLC,Ultra Performance Liquid Chromatography,Chromatography, High-Performance Liquid,High-Performance Liquid Chromatographies,Liquid Chromatography, High-Performance
D004797 Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay An immunoassay utilizing an antibody labeled with an enzyme marker such as horseradish peroxidase. While either the enzyme or the antibody is bound to an immunosorbent substrate, they both retain their biologic activity; the change in enzyme activity as a result of the enzyme-antibody-antigen reaction is proportional to the concentration of the antigen and can be measured spectrophotometrically or with the naked eye. Many variations of the method have been developed.
