Photon time-of-flight (PTOF) spectroscopy enables the estimation of absorption and reduced scattering coefficients of turbid media by measuring the propagation time of short light pulses through turbid medium. The present investigation provides a comparison of the assessed absorption and reduced scattering coefficients from PTOF measurements of intralipid 20% and India ink-based optical phantom...

Abstract In this paper, we studied the inhibitory effect of oleanolic acid (OA) on non-enzymatic glycosylation and improvement glycometabolism in insulin resistant (IR) human liver tumour (HepG2) cells. The anti-glycosylation activity OA was determined by bovine serum albumin (BSA) fructose model. results showed that moderately inhibited formation intermediates glycosylation, fructosamine ?-dic...

Products of advanced protein glycosylation (advanced glycation end products, or AGEs) accumulate in tissues as a function of time and sugar concentration. AGEs induce permanent abnormalities in extracellular matrix component function, stimulate cytokine and reactive oxygen species production through AGE-specific receptors, and modify intracellular proteins. Pharmacologic inhibition of AGE forma...

Experimental studies suggest that an increased consumption of fermented dairy products and calcium might decrease the risk of colorectal cancer. The associations between fermented dairy products, dietary calcium, and colorectal cancer risk were investigated in a population with a wide variation in intake of dairy products. The Netherlands Cohort Study of diet and cancer started in 1986 when 120...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Recent findings of an association between polymorphisms of advanced glycosylation end product-specific receptor (AGER) and risk of diabetic vasculopathy have generated great interest. However, to date, no genetic-epidemiological data are available on risk of atherothrombotic events among nondiabetic populations. METHODS Using DNA samples collected at baseline in a prosp...
