Inhibitory effect of bunium persicum hydroalcoholic extract on glucose-induced albumin glycation, oxidation, and aggregation in vitro

ABSTRACT

Background: Glucose-induced protein glycation has been implicated in the progression of diabetic complications and agerelated diseases. The anti-glycation potential of polyphenol-rich plant extracts has been shown previously. Bunium Persicum has been demonstrated to possess a high level of polyphenols. The aim of current in vitro study was to determine the possible inhibitory effect of Bunium Persicum hydroalcoholic extract [BPE] on glucose-induced bovine serum albumin [BSA] glycation, oxidation, and aggregation
