Abstract excerpt
Glyoxalase 1 (Glo1) is a cytoplasmic enzyme with a cytoprotective function linked to metabolism of the cytotoxic side product of glycolysis, methylglyoxal (MG). It prevents dicarbonyl stress - the abnormal accumulation of reactive dicarbonyl metabolites, increasing protein and DNA damage. Increased Glo1 expression delays ageing and suppresses carcinogenesis, insulin resistance, cardiovascular disease and vascular...
