Abstract：
:Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) and methylglyoxal (MG), an important intermediate in AGEs synthesis, are thought to contribute to protein aging and to the pathogenesis of age-and diabetes-associated complications. This study was intended to investigate brain mitochondria bioenergetics and oxidative status of rats previously exposed to chronic treatment with MG and/or with pyridoxamine (PM), a glycation inhibitor. Brain mitochondrial fractions were obtained and several parameters were analyzed: respiratory chain [states 3 and 4 of respiration, respiratory control ratio (RCR), and ADP/O index] and phosphorylation system [transmembrane potential (ΔΨm), ADP-induced depolarization, repolarization lag phase, and ATP levels]; hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) production levels, mitochondrial aconitase activity, and malondialdehyde levels as well as non-enzymatic antioxidant defenses (vitamin E and glutathione levels) and enzymatic antioxidant defenses (glutathione disulfide reductase (GR), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), and manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) activities). MG treatment induced a statistical significant decrease in RCR, aconitase and GR activities, and an increase in H2O2 production levels. The administration of PM did not counteract MG-induced effects and caused a significant decrease in ΔΨm. In mitochondria from control animals, PM caused an adaptive mechanism characterized by a decrease in aconitase and GR activities as well as an increase in both α-tocopherol levels and GPx and MnSOD activities. Altogether our results show that high levels of MG promote brain mitochondrial impairment and PM is not able to reverse MG-induced effects.
