The Effect of various concentrations of BPE on inhibition of albumin glycation

Group	Glycation inhibition (%)	P value (compared to G+A group)
G+A + BPE (5 µg/ml)	0	P=0.914
G+A + BPE (10 µg/ml)	7.38±1.25	P=0.031
G+A + BPE (15 µg/ml)	13.62±0.39	P<0.001
G+A + BPE (30 µg/ml)	27.80±4.49	P<0.001

The data are mean±SD of at least three independent experiments. The mean of each group presented as percent of glycation inhibition. Percent of glycation inhibition calculated by the following formula: Percentage of inhibition=[(G0−G1)/G0]×100 where G0 is the glycated albumin level of G+A group and G1 is the glycated albumin level of the G+A samples co-incubated with BPE. BPE: Bunium persicum extract; G+A: Glucose+albumin
