DJ-1 as a deglycating enzyme: A unique function to explain a multifaceted protein? [PDF]
The recently reported deglycating activity of DJ-1 reconciles several features previously described for the protein. The deglycating activity reported for DJ-1 may explain its different subcellular localizations, indeed the protein has been found in the ...

Influence of biological variations and sample handling on measured microalbuminuria in diabetic patients [PDF]
Five immunochemical assays for determining low concentrations of albumin were investigated. These were a radioimmunoassay (RIA); turbidimetric immunoassays (TIA) both according to end-point measuring principle on a Cobas Fara and Hitachi 717 analysers ...

Different behaviour of the N-terminal and C-terminal fragment of proatrial natriuretic factor in plasma of healthy subjects as well as of patients with cirrhosis [PDF]
N-terminal (atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) 1-98) and C-terminal (ANF 99-126) fragments of proatrial natriuretic factor (NTA and CTA, respectively) were determined in plasma of healthy subjects adopting different postures and in patients with cirrhosis ...

The effects of glycation on the binding of human serum albumin to warfarin and l-tryptophan [PDF]
Diabetes leads to elevated levels of glucose in blood which, in turn, can lead to the non-enzymatic glycation of serum proteins such as human serum albumin (HSA). It has been suggested that this increase in glycation can alter the ability of HSA to bind to drugs and other small solutes. This study used high-performance affinity chromatography (HPAC) to
