Background: The accumulation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) has a key role in the pathophysiology of diabetes complications. Comparison of AGEs measurement in serum, skin, saliva and urine has not been reported.
Aims: To compare AGEs in serum, skin, saliva and urine in patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus, with complications at different stages.
Materials And Methods: We examined 50 patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus (40 women and 10 men) grouped according to the progression of neuropathy, nephropathy and retinopathy. The AGEs content in serum, skin, saliva and urine was measured by spectrofluorometry HPLC.
Results: The patients had a mean age of 56.5 +/- 7.7 yr and 12.8 +/- 6.7 yr since diagnosis. AGEs in skin correlated with years since diagnosis (p = 0.0005). AGEs in serum, skin and saliva increased with the progression of complications, nevertheless, in urine a trend to diminution was found. In the group with end-stage renal disease (ESRD), AGEs in serum increased in greater proportion. In order to account for the decreased AGEs clearance, we corrected the values for creatinine levels, and AGEs in skin gave a better association with complications.
Conclusions: The AGEs measurement in skin, serum and saliva are useful to evaluate diabetes complications. AGEs in skin are associated with years since diagnosis of diabetes. Correction for renal function might discriminate AGEs in situ formation from accumulation.

In the modern age, half of the population is facing various chronic illnesses due to glucose maintenance in the body, major causes of fatality and inefficiency. The early identification of glucose plays a crucial role in medical treatment and the food industry, particularly in diabetes diagnosis. In the past few years, non-enzymatic electrochemical glucose sensors have received a lot of interest for their ability to identify glucose levels accurately.

Globally, drug-impaired driving fatalities now exceed those from drunk driving, urging the need for on-site and roadside detection methods. In this study, a photothermal desorption and reagent-assisted low-temperature plasma ionization miniature ion trap mass spectrometer (PDRA-LTP-ITMS) was developed for on-site detection of drug-impaired driving. The pseudomultiple reaction monitoring (MRM) in PDRA-LTP-ITMS enables continuous ion selection during ion introduction and improved sensitivity to nearly 3-fold compared with the conventional full scan mode.

Background: Previous studies have identified links between fluid intake, hydration related hormones and cortisol measured at one timepoint but have not considered how hydration may influence cortisol dynamics throughout the day. This study assessed associations between hydration status (copeptin, urinary osmolality, urine volume) and habitual fluid intake with cortisol dynamics.

Analysis of glipizide and pravastatin sodium drug molecules at trace level by using magnetic solid phase extraction and HPLC-DAD system.
J Chromatogr B Analyt Technol Biomed Life Sci
January 2025
An easy applicable and selective sample preparation technique has been developed for trace and simultaneously analysis of Glipizide (GLP) and Pravastatin (PST) molecules in biological matrices based on magnetic solid phase extraction (MSPE) and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). A new magnetic adsorbent including FeO@TEOS-Melamine has been synthetized and characterized for extraction studies. Experimental variables of MSPE were examined and optimized step by step such as pH, adsorption and desorption conditions, time effect, etc.

Sulfur-containing small molecules, mainly including cysteine (Cys), homocysteine (Hcy), glutathione (GSH), and hydrogen sulfide (HS), are crucial biomarkers, and their levels in different body locations (living cells, tissues, blood, urine, saliva, ) are inconsistent and constantly changing. Therefore, it is highly meaningful and challenging to synchronously and accurately detect them in complex multi-component samples without mutual interference. In this work, we propose a steric hindrance-regulated probe, NBD-2FDCI, with single excitation dual emissions to achieve self-adaptive detection of four analytes.
