The formation of glycohemoglobin, especially the hemoglobin A1c(Hb_(A1c)) fraction, occurs when glucose becomes coupled with the amino acid valine in the β-chain of Hb; this reaction is dependent on the plasma concen...
Several studies have shown that vitamin C affects on hemoglobin glycation of proteins. However, the effects on hemoglobin glycation may be interpreted differently depending on the method used to measure glycohemoglobi...
Human HbA is nonenzymatically glycated at several sites. Approximately half of glycated Hb is formed by the addition of glucose to the amino-terminal valine of the Hb βchains, this species is called HbA1c.Most studie...
