Interaction Information:

Comment The elevation of plasma methylglyoxal levels in diabetic humans is widely observed.

in blood plasma
Comment D-Lactate concentration but not methylglyoxal concentration, correlated positively with HbA1c and blood glucose, supporting the view that plasma methylglyoxal is not related to glycolysis.

in blood plasma
Comment HbA1c levels detected in vivo, and methylglyoxal and D-lactate production in vitro did not correlate, whereas the rate of methylglyoxal formation and the cellular glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase activity exhibited a strong negative correlation. The higher the enzymatic activity, the lower the level of methylglyoxal. This relationship was also seen between red blood cell glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase activity and plasma methylglyoxal levels normalized to blood glucose in type 1 diabetic patients and in an NHS cohort study.
