✦ Synopsis

One of the hypotheses trying to explain the process of aging is the idea of glycation of proteins. This reaction, also called the Maillard or browning reaction, may explain age-related symptoms such as cataract, atherosclerosis and modification of collagen-containing tissues. Diabetics, which posses elevated blood sugar levels, show signs of accelerated aging exposing similar complications. The Maillard reaction, which occurs on a large scale in vivo, may play a key role in the initiation of these symptoms.

Diabetic neuropathy is associated with some early defects of axonal transport in experimental animals. Axonal transport is dependent on intact microtubules, and unsubstituted lysine residues of tubulin are essential for microtubule polymerization. As lysine residues are the major target for the non-

A sensitive and specific assay for glycated albumin (GALE) has been developed. Ten pL of serum is fractionated by affinity chromatography on a boranateagarose column and quantitated by radioimmunoassay (RIA). Assay linearity is 15.6-1,000 ng of albumin. Dose-response curves prepared from both glycat

Endothelin-1 is mainly synthesized by the vascular endothelial cells and acts on the vascular smooth muscle. Because of its vasoconstrictor and mitogenic effects it plays a role in the development of vascular diseases. In diabetes mellitus atherosclerosis is accelerated. The authors summarize the av
