Background: In order to determine glycated albumin more easily and rapidly, we developed a new enzymatic method for glycated albumin in blood samples.
Methods: The method involves use of albumin-specific proteinase, ketoamine oxidase and serum albumin assay reagent. In the assay, glycated albumin is hydrolyzed to glycated amino acids by proteinase digestion, and ketoamine oxidase oxidizes the glycated amino acids to produce hydrogen peroxide, which is quantitatively measured. Glycated albumin is calculated as the percentage of glycated albumin in total albumin.
Results: The calibration curve for glycated albumin concentration was linear (r(p)=0.999) between 0.0 and 50.0 g/l and that for albumin concentration was linear (r(p)=0.999) between 0.0 and 60.0 g/l. The analytical recoveries of exogenous glycated albumin added to serum were 100-102.5%. The within-run and between-run CVs were 0.45-0.67% and 1.09-1.26%, respectively. This method was free from interference by bilirubin, chyle, glucose, globulins and labile intermediate. Weak interference by hemoglobin and ascorbic acid was observed. Glycated albumin detected by the present method was significantly correlated with glycated albumin detected by high-performance liquid-chromatographic (HPLC) method (serum: r(s)=0.989, plasma: r(p)=0.992).
Conclusions: This new enzymatic method is simple, rapid, allows multiple determinations and enables quantitative analysis of glycated albumin.

Abnormalities of carbohydrate antigen 19 - 9 (CA19-9) are common in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and in some patients, CA19-9 returns to normal level after glycemic control. The aim of this study was to investigate the factors associated with CA19-9 levels in patients with T2DM and the associated influences on the degree of reduction of CA19-9 levels after antidiabetic therapy (AT). This study was an observational cross-sectional study.

Background: The glycemia risk index (GRI) is a novel composite continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) metric composed of hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia components and is weighted toward extremes. This study aimed to investigate the association between GRI and the risk of albuminuria in type 1 diabetes.
Methods: The 90-day CGM tracings of 330 individuals with type 1 diabetes were included in the analysis.

Glycated albumin (GA) serves as a biomarker for short-term glycemic control (2-3 weeks), playing a role in diabetes management. Our goal was to establish reference intervals (RIs) for serum GA, and the ratios of 1,5-anhydroglucitol to GA (AGI) and GA to HbA1c in a Euro-Brazilian pediatric population (10 y, n = 299), adults (43.5 y; n = 290), and pregnant women (26 y, n = 406; 26.

Advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) are products of a non-enzymatic reaction between amino acids and reducing sugars. Glycated human serum albumin (HSA) increases in diabetics as a consequence of elevated blood glucose levels and glycating metabolites like methylglyoxal (MGO). The impact of different types of glycation on the immunomodulatory properties of HSA is poorly understood and is studied here.
