Oxidative stress, protein glycation and nutrition – interactions relevant to health and disease throughout the lifecycle [PDF]
Protein glycation has been studied for over a century now and plays an important role in disease pathogenesis throughout the lifecycle. Strongly related to diabetic complications, glycation of Hb has become the gold standard method for diabetes diagnosis

Identification of Fructosamine Residues Deglycated by Fructosamine-3-kinase in Human Hemoglobin [PDF]
Fructosamine-3-kinase (FN3K) phosphorylates fructosamine residues, leading to their destabilization and their shedding from protein. Support for the occurrence of this deglycation mechanism in intact cells has been obtained by showing that hemoglobin is significantly more glycated when human erythrocytes are incubated with an elevated glucose ...
