Comparative Analysis of Antiglycation Capacity of Aqueous and Methanolic Extracts of Vegetables

Abstract
Glycation is a reaction between amino group of blood proteins and reducing sugars in vitro conditions which are involved in a number of pathologies and disease states including Alzheimer's and diabetes. Equal concentration of different inhibitor extracts (sweet potato, turnip and methi) and glucose were used. Eight combinations of each extract were made and all these were placed at 37oC for five weeks incubation. Human normal plasma was used as a protein source. Glycation was analyzed by Thiobarbituric acid (TBA) technique which results that aqueous and methanol extracts of sweet potato and turnip showed no inhibition of non-enzymatic glycation but act as activator of reaction while aqueous extract of methi showed maximum inhibition of non-enzymatic glycation in 5th week of incubation and for methanol extract inhibition was maximum in 3rd week of incubation. In all extracts of three vegetables, extracts of methi were more effective against non-enzymatic glycation. These findings suggest that in future methi can be used for lowering glucose level in the body as it is efficient in lowering the glycation level in different conditions when level of glucose is high.

Lapolla, joney j (2005) non-enzymatic glycation has a twofold meaning: on one hand, measurement of early glycation products can estimate the extent of exposure to glucose and the subject's previous metabolic control; on the other hand, measurement of intermediate and late products of the glycation reaction is a precious instrument in verifying the relationship between glycation products and tissue modifications.

Morten Bernargi, E. (2006) explained that glycation is a non-enzymatic process in which proteins react with reducing sugar molecules and thereby impair the function and change the characteristics of the proteins. Glycation is involved in diabetes and aging where the accumulation of glycation products causes side effects.
Nursten (2005) said that Maillard reactions are a complex set of reactions, typically occurring between carbonyl compounds and amino groups originating from proteins, peptides or amino acids.
Stoppa (2006) found that non-enzymatic glycation is implicated in the development of various diseases such as Alzheimer's and diabetes mellitus. An increase in the generation of reactive oxygen species can occur by non-enzymatic glycation and glucose autoxidation.
S. Stoynev, D. Ahmed (2004) said that nonenzymatic glycosylation (glycation) of proteins is a multistage chemical process starting as a condensation reaction between reducing sugars and primary amino groups (mainly from the side chains of Lis and Arg) and ending up with formation of complex heterocyclic compounds called advanced glycation end products (AGEs).
