Popis: The present study focused on examining the efficacy of feeding a rutin-glucose derivative (G-rutin) to inhibit glycation reactions that can occur in muscle, kidney and plasma proteins of diabetic rats. Both thiobarbituric acid-reactive substance levels and protein carbonyl contents in muscle and kidney were significantly (p < 0.05) reduced in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats fed G-rutin supplemented diet, compared to diabetic rats fed control diet. The Ne-fructoselysine content in muscle and kidney, a biomarker of early glycation reaction, was markedly (p < 0.05) increased by diabetes, but significantly (p < 0.05) reduced in diabetic rats fed G-rutin. Advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) in serum and kidney protein were measured by immunoblot using anti-AGE antibody, and were also reduced in diabetic rats fed dietary G-rutin. Feeding G-rutin also slightly inhibited aldose reductase activity in these animals. These results demonstrate for the first time that dietary G-rutin consumption can provide potential health benefits that are related to the inhibition of tissue glycation reactions common to diabetes.
