For the first time, it was found that the hormone melatonin exhibited antiglycation activity in vitro. It was shown that melatonin significantly slowed down the accumulation of fluorescent Schiff adducts formed as a result of BSA modification in the presence of high concentration of fructose. It was noted that, unlike the fructosylation reaction, melatonin did not affect the process of modification of BSA by methylglyoxal. We assume that melatonin is able to inhibit the development of the Maillard reaction but does not affect the process of BSA modification by reactive carbonyls.
