The effect of fructose on collagen glycation.
Year: 1989
Type: article
Abstract: The effect of fructose on the formation of advanced Maillard reaction products which have fluorescence and cross-links was investigated. Type I collagen was added to various concentrations of glucose and fructose which were then incubated at 37 C for 4 weeks. Both the level of furosine and the fluorescence intensity increased in direct proportion to glucose and fructose levels and to the duration of incubation. Incubation with fructose produced less furosine but more intense fluorescence than incubation with glucose. These results suggest that fructose in the polyol pathway plays an important role in the formation of advanced Maillard products.
