Anti-glycationand Anti-oxidation properties of Capsicum frutescens and Curcuma longa fruits: Possible role in prevention of diabetic complication

ABSTRACT

The accumulation of advanced glycationend products [AGE's] in the body, due to the non-enzymatic glycation of proteins is associated with several pathological conditions like aging and diabetes mellitus. Hence a plant having anti-glycation and anti-oxidation potentials may serve as therapeutic agent for diabetic complications and aging. In this study the anti-glycation and anti-oxidation properties of crude methanolic extracts of fruits of Capsicum frutescens and Curcuma longa were investigated
