Antiglycation potential and antioxidant activity of genipap ( L.) in oxidative stress mediated by hydrogen peroxide on cell culture.

is a plant widely used by folk medicine for the prevention and as an aid in the treatment of various diseases. In this work, we evaluated the anti-glycant and antioxidant activities of genipap fruit juice, as well as the influence of different temperatures (-6 °C and -80 °C) on the preservation of phenolic compounds. Purified extract from showed anti-glycant activity reducing the formation of fructosamine by up to 53% and recovered viability of cells under oxidative stress induced by HO.

An HPLC method for the determination of adenosine diphosphate: An important marker of hexokinase activity in metabolic diseases.

Hexokinases play a critical role in the cellular uptake and utilization of glucose. As such, they are of fundamental importance to all cells. By catalyzing glucose to produce glucose-6-phosphate, hexokinases control the first irreversible step of glucose metabolism and initiate all major pathways of glucose consumption.
