Protein carbonylation in human diseases.
Oxidative modifications of enzymes and structural proteins play a significant role in the aetiology and/or progression of several human diseases. Protein carbonyl content is the most general and well-used biomarker of severe oxidative protein damage. Human diseases associated with protein carbonylation include Alzheimer's disease, chronic lung disease, chronic renal failure, diabetes and sepsis...
متن کاملInsulin degradation by adipose tissue is increased in human obesity.
White adipose tissue samples from obese and lean patients were used for the estimation of insulin protease and insulin:glutathione transhydrogenase using 125I-labeled insulin. There was no activity detected in the absence of reduced glutathione, which indicates that insulin is cleaved in human adipose tissue through reduction of the disulfide bridge between the chains. Obese patients showed hig...
متن کاملProtein carbonylation and glycation in human lenses.
It has been observed protein carbonylation and glycation in the lens epithelial cell fractions of lenses in people with mature cataract. We used lenses of diabetic patients, weak and strong cigarette smokers and people who had senile cataract. The protein glycation is the highest in a diabetic senile cataract patients and the lowest in non-diabetic senile cataract patients. The protein carbonyl...
متن کاملProtein carbonylation.
Protein carbonylation is a type of protein oxidation that can be promoted by reactive oxygen species. It usually refers to a process that forms reactive ketones or aldehydes that can be reacted by 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine (DNPH) to form hydrazones. Direct oxidation of side chains of lysine, arginine, proline, and threonine residues, among other amino acids, in the ‘‘primary protein carbonylat...
