Description
Fatty acid-free bovine serum albumin (BSA) (0.05 g/ml) was incubated with 50 mM of glucose in a 0.05 M sodium phosphate buffer (pH 7.4) at 37°C for 24 weeks, followed by dialysis against PBS. The CML content (0.4 mol CML/mol BSA) was determined by amino acid analysis. This method is prepared mildly-modified-AGE-BSA (mild-AGE-BSA). The CML content for the mild-AGE-BSA is 24.4 mmol CML/mol Lys. However, the CML contents for the diabetic (DM)- and non-diabetic human lens samples were about 17.4 mmol /mol Lys and about 8.6 mmol/mol Lys, respectively, thus indicating that the CML content of mild-AGE-BSA was similar to physiological samples.
