Electrochemical Biosensing of Glucose Based on the Enzymatic Reduction of Glucose

Sensors, 2022
In this work, the enzyme aldehyde reductase, also known as aldose reductase, was synthesized and cloned from a human gene. Spectrophotometric measurements show that in presence of the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate cofactor (NADPH), the ...

Activity of the cytosolic enzymes of endogenous aldehydes catabolism under the conditions of different nutrients content in a diet

Біологія тварин, 2022
The research was conducted to study the activity of aldehyde dehydrogenase (EC 1.2.1.3) and aldehyde reductase (EC 1.1.1.21), the levels of TBA reactive substances and protein carbonyl derivates in the cytosolic fraction of rat liver under the conditions

Engineered Corynebacterium glutamicum as the Platform for the Production of Aromatic Aldehydes

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2022
Aromatic aldehydes, including 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde (4-HB aldehyde), protocatechuic (PC) aldehyde, and vanillin, are used as important flavors, fragrances, and pharmaceutical precursors and have several biological and therapeutic effects.

An evolutionary conserved detoxification system for membrane lipid-derived peroxyl radicals in Gram-negative bacteria.

PLoS Biology, 2022
How double-membraned Gram-negative bacteria overcome lipid peroxidation is virtually unknown. Bactericidal antibiotics and superoxide ion stress stimulate the transcription of the Burkholderia cenocepacia bcnA gene that encodes a secreted lipocalin. bcnA

Aldehyde Dehydrogenase and Aldo-Keto Reductase Enzymes: Basic Concepts and Emerging Roles in Diabetic Retinopathy

Antioxidants, 2023
Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a complication of diabetes mellitus that can lead to vision loss and blindness. It is driven by various biochemical processes and molecular mechanisms, including lipid peroxidation and disrupted aldehyde metabolism, which ...

Processing of Airborne Green Leaf Volatiles for Their Glycosylation in the Exposed Plants

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021
Green leaf volatiles (GLVs), the common constituents of herbivore-infested plant volatiles (HIPVs), play an important role in plant defense and function as chemical cues to communicate with other individuals in nature.

Natural aldose reductase inhibitors for treatment and prevention of diabetic cataract: A review

Herba Polonica, 2022
Introduction: Aldose reductase (AR) is an enzyme that catalyzes the reduction of glucose to sorbitol responsible for the development of diabetic complications like cataracts. Medicinal plants contain several phytocompounds that can inhibit this enzyme.

Aldose and Aldehyde Reductase Exhibit Isocorticosteroid Reductase Activity [PDF]

European Journal of Biochemistry, 1983
In this paper we describe the reduction of corticosteroid metabolites containing the 17 beta-aldol side chain (isocorticosteroids) by aldose and aldehyde reductase from human tissues. Aldose reductase catalyzed the reduction of the aldehydes derived from cortisol and corticosterone at about the same rate, whereas aldehyde reductase preferentially acted

Oxidative stress and the enzyme system of aldehyde catabolism in the muscle mitochondria of immobilized pubertal rats [PDF]

The Ukrainian Biochemical Journal, 2014
The aim of the work is to find out peculiarities in manifestation of oxidative stress and to determine activity of enzymes, responsible for utilization of endogenous aldehydes in the mitochondrial fraction of the skeletal (femoral) muscle in pubertal ...
