Table 1. The effect of carnosine on the fructose 6-phosphate-induced decrease in chaperone activity of αL-crystallin

Percent protection against aggregation at start and four days for combinations of αL-crystallin (α), 100 mM fructose 6-phosphate (F6P), and carnosine (C). The asterisk indicates a statistically significant difference between α and α+F6P at 4 days (p=0.0005). The double asterisk indicates a statistically significant difference between α+F6P and α+F6P+50 mM C at 4 days (p=0.0004). The triple asterisk indicates a statistically significant difference between α+F6P and α+F6P+100 mM C at 4 days (p=0.0010).
