Scientific Background | Lipid peroxidation occurs when oxidizing agents attack carbon-carbon double bonds found in unsaturated lipids. In addition to membrane degradation, oxidation end-products have been found to damage cell viability through their mutagenic and toxic properties. These downstream functional consequences facilitate the development of disease and premature aging. Methylglyoxal is an alpha-oxoaldehyde generated from lipid peroxidation that reacts with proteins to form adducts(1). It reacts with free amino acids and protein residues to generate advanced glycation endproducts (AGEs) and crosslinks DNA polymerase and substrate DNA to severely inhibit DNA replication (2). |
