The quenching mechanism of fluorescence of BSA by FB was considered to be a dynamic quenching procedure. The number of binding sites n and apparent binding constant K were measured by fluorescence quenching method. The results indicate that there is FB molecular binding with BSA, and forming 1 : 1 complex. The thermodynamic parameters such as △H, △G and △S, etc., were calculated, The results indicate that the binding reaction is mainly entropy-driven and hydrophobic forces play major role in the binding reaction, The distance r between donor (BSA) and acceptor (FB) was obtained according to Forster theory of non-radioactive energy transfer.展开更多

To understand the molecular mechanisms underlying the effect of AGEs on neural tube development, C57BL/6 female mice were fed for 4 weeks with com- mercial food containing 3% advanced glycation end product bovine serum albumin (AGE-BSA) or 3% bovine serum albumin (BSA) as a control. After mating mice, oxidative stress markers including malondialdehyde and H202 were measured at embryonic day 7.5 (E7.5) of ges- tation, and the level of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) in embryonic cells was determined at E8.5. In addition to evaluating NTDs, an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to determine the effect of embryonic protein administration on the N-(carboxymethyl) lysine reactivity of acid and carboxyethyl lysine antibodies at E10.5. The results showed a remarkable increase in the incidence of NTDs at El0.5 in embryos of mice fed with AGE-BSA (no hyperglycemia) compared with control mice. Moreover, embryonic protein administration resulted in a noticeable increase in the reactivity of N-(carboxymethyl) lysine and N(ε)-(carboxyethyl) lysine antibodies. Malondialdehyde and H2O2 levels in embryonic cells were increased at E7.5, followed by increased intracellular ROS levels at E8.5. Vitamin E supplementation could partially recover these phenomena. Collectively, these results suggest that AGE-BSA could induce NTDs in the absence of hyperglycemia by an underlying mechanism that is at least partially associated with its capacity to increase embryonic oxidative stress levels.展开更多
