Abstract
In vitro glycation was previously shown to influence alpha-crystallin chaperone function. In the present study we show that this function is compromised in diabetes. The alpha H, alpha L and the total alpha fractions were isolated by gel permeation chromatography from the water-soluble protein of streptozotocin-diabetic as well as age-matched normal rats. Based on the beta L-crystallin thermal denaturation assay the chaperone function was significantly decreased in the diabetic rats.Entities:
