To determine the difference in molecular weights of albumin in factory workers caused by non-enzymatic glycation of plasma albumin using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI TOF/MS), and examine the epidemiological validity of this method.
Forty-eight male workers were tested by random sampling. The difference in molecular weights (ΔM) between the subjects' albumin and human serum albumin was determined by MALDI TOF/MS. Correlations between ΔM vs. fructosamine, fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and HbAlc were investigated.
ΔM showed a significant correlation with all of the tested glycation indices (ΔM vs. fructosamine: r=0.487, p<0.001) (ΔM vs. FPG: r=0.482, p<0.01) (ΔM vs. HbAlc: r=0.397, p<0.01).
Since a significant correlation between ΔM and the glycation indices was found in this investigation, further study with a larger number of subjects is needed for use in clinical applications.
使用基质辅助激光解吸电离飞行时间质谱(MALDI-TOF/MS)测定工厂工人血浆白蛋白非酶糖基化引起的白蛋白分子量差异,并检验该方法的流行病学有效性。
采用随机抽样的方法对 48 名男性工人进行检测。MALDI-TOF/MS 测定受试者白蛋白与人血清白蛋白之间的分子量差异(ΔM)。研究 ΔM 与果糖胺、空腹血糖(FPG)和 HbAlc 的相关性。
ΔM 与所有测试的糖化指标均呈显著相关(ΔM 与果糖胺:r=0.487,p<0.001)(ΔM 与 FPG:r=0.482,p<0.01)(ΔM 与 HbAlc:r=0.397,p<0.01)。
本研究发现 ΔM 与糖化指标之间存在显著相关性,因此需要进一步进行更多研究以应用于临床。
