How does aminoguanidine affect the formation of p-dimethylaminobenzaldehyde-reactive substances in diabetic rat collagen?
Label:chem
Topic
Aminoguanidine is a known inhibitor of non-enzymatic glycation, which is a process that leads to the formation of advanced glycation endproducts (AGEs) and subsequent cross-linking in collagen.

Answer
Aminoguanidine significantly inhibits the formation of p-dimethylaminobenzaldehyde-reactive substances in diabetic rat collagen, indicating its role in reducing non-enzymatic glycation and subsequent cross-linking. This suggests that aminoguanidine can mitigate the negative effects of hyperglycemia on collagen properties.
