The effect of hypertriglyceridemia on carbonyl and oxidative stress in an experimental model of insulin resistance

      Objectives: Reactive dicarbonyls seems to be a common product of both carbonyl and oxidative stress and their biogenesis is related to glycemic and lipid status in diabetes. Excessive generation of dicarbonyls leads to production of advanced glycation end products (AGE), activates inflammatory pathway, increases oxidative stress and can play a key role in the development of diabetic vascular complications. Dicarbonyls determination could be early biomarker risk for these complications. The effect of dyslipidemia on dicarbonyl stress is not fully clarified. In our study we analyzed level of individual reactive dicarbonyls – methylglyoxal (MG), glyoxal (GL) and 3-deoxyglucosone (3-DG) in relation to parameters of oxidative stress and lipid disorders in non-obese rats with hereditary hypertriglyceridemia (HHTg rats).
