From: Fructose-induced stress signaling in the liver involves methylglyoxal
Effects of N-acetyl cysteine on fructose- and methylglyoxal- mediated phosphorylation of Akt. Total (A) and phosphorylated (serine473) (B) Akt in primary hepatocytes incubated in the presence of fructose delivery (GF) or methylglyoxal in the media (MG) in the absence (No Additions) or presence of NAC (20 uM). Data in graphs are the mean ± SDEV for 4 independent experiments performed in triplicate. * significantly different from No Additions (p < 0.05).
