Inhibitory effects of beta-cyclodextrin and trehalose on nanofibril and AGE formation during glycation of human serum albumin

Protein Pept Lett. 2009;16(6):653-9. doi: 10.2174/092986609788490212.

Abstract

The effects of beta-cyclodextrin (beta-CyD) and trehalose on glycation of human serum albumin (HSA) were studied. These additives reduced AGEs and nanofibril formation of HSA under in vitro glycation conditions and improved its helical structure. These were accomplished through direct interactions of them with HSA and alterations in solute-protein interactions.
