Methylglyoxal solution is used in cytotoxic studies.

General description

Methylglyoxal is a toxic endogenous by-product of glycolysis. It is a reactive dicarbonyl compound that promotes non-enzymatic glycation of proteins to yield irreversible advanced glycated end products, leading to the cross-linking or degradation of proteins.

Dicarbonyl and oxidative stress may play important roles in the development of diabetes complications, and their response to hyperglycemia could determine individual susceptibility to diabetic nephropathy. This study examines the relationship of methylglyoxal, 3-deoxyglucosone (3DG), and oxidative stress levels to
