Elimination of 14C-glycated albumin from serum of rabbit. 1990

A Kallner

Department of Clinical Chemistry, Karolinska Hospital, Stockholm, Sweden.

Glycated albumin was prepared by incubation of serum from rabbits with randomly labelled 14C-glucose. The isolated glycated albumin fraction was reinfused to the same animal. 14C-labelled glucose was given to alloxan-treated rabbits. The disappearance of the radioactivity showed a rapid initial phase and a slow elimination phase, which could be acceptably described by first-order kinetics. The estimated half-life of glycated albumin was about 6 days, which is about 70% of that generally stated for albumin in the rabbit. If these findings were transferred to human conditions, the half-life of fructosamine would be in the range of 13-14 days.

D006031	Glycosylation	The synthetic chemistry reaction or enzymatic reaction of adding carbohydrate or glycosyl groups. GLYCOSYLTRANSFERASES carry out the enzymatic glycosylation reactions. The spontaneous, non-enzymatic attachment of reducing sugars to free amino groups in proteins, lipids, or nucleic acids is called GLYCATION (see MAILLARD REACTION).

D000093423	Glycated Serum Albumin	Serum albumin that has undergone, in vivo, spontaneous, non-enzymatic modification with reducing sugars via the MAILLARD REACTION. They are analyzed to measure control of HYPERGLYCEMIA.

D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D012709	Serum Albumin	A major protein in the BLOOD. It is important in maintaining the colloidal osmotic pressure and transporting large organic molecules.	Plasma Albumin,Albumin, Serum
D017127	Glycation End Products, Advanced	A heterogeneous group of compounds derived from rearrangements, oxidation, and cross-linking reactions that follow from non-enzymatic glycation of amino groups in PROTEINS; LIPIDS; or NUCLEIC ACIDS. Their accumulation in vivo accelerates under hyperglycemic, oxidative, or inflammatory conditions. Heat also accelerates the formation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) such seen with the browning of food during cooking.
