Comparison of Protective Effects of Phenolic Acids on Protein Glycation of BSA Supported by In Vitro and Docking Studies

Figure 1

(a) The effect of phenolic acids on inhibition of fluorescence AGEs. The fluorescent intensity was monitored at excitation and emission wavelengths of 360 and 460 nm. (b) The effect of phenolic acids on protein carbonyl contents. The results are expressed as mean ± SEM (n = 3). a, b significant difference compared with BSA after 4 and 6 weeks incubation times. compared with glycated BSA after 4 weeks incubation time, # compared with glycated BSA after 6 weeks incubation time. BSA: bovine serum albumin, Gal: gallic acid, SYR: syringic acid, Ela: ellagic acid, Fer: ferulic acid, Com: p-coumaric acid, Caf: caffeic acid.
