Talk:Methylglyoxal

message: I removed this inline comment: "[Something wrong here--cysteine residues do not have a free amino group (unless it's at the end of the protein, just as with any amino acid)]" and took out the reference to cysteine as part of the process of producing AGE's.

message: It is worth mentioning in the article that methylglyoxal has recently been identified as an antiviral, and is found in Manuka honey. In fact, some Manuka honey manufactures are now using the measure "MGO" to indicate the quantity of methylglyoxal in their honey; eg: "MGO 400" means there is 400 mg of methylglyoxal per Kg of honey.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Drgao (talk • contribs) 15:48, 2 September 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Methylglyoxal in Manuka honey has been researched for its anti-bacterial, not anti-viral, properties. See Mavric, E., et al.

replies: text: Methylglyoxal would appear to have both antibacterial and antiviral properties, though not much data is yet available on its precise antiviral action: see here :http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16740366   Drgao (talk) 07:16, 31 March 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: “Not much” in an understatement. The link has no useful information about this topic whatsoever, as far as I can tell. It’s basically just an extremely pretentious way of commenting “Dunno” while making it look credible and like a source. ^^ 2A0A:A547:3817:1:64B4:6E76:CEE9:D0C8 (talk) 16:45, 12 July 2023 (UTC)

text: It is also worth mentioning, that just because it acts antiviral in the honey, doesn’t mean it does any of that after having been though the extremely destructive process of digestion, let alone in the blood. That’s something that needs to be shown separately, in the human body. Making it merely an esoteric scam otherwise. — 2A0A:A547:3817:1:64B4:6E76:CEE9:D0C8 (talk) 16:42, 12 July 2023 (UTC)

message: I'm looking to contribute to this page as well as the N(6)-Carboxymethyllysine, and AGE page. I was hoping for some recommendations on what is needed for these articles, and some possible formatting advice.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Anthpulido (talk • contribs) 03:02, 1 April 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: As requested here is some advice: 1) Do not cite yourself or your friends. 2) cite secondary sources only (reviews, books).  Keeping those key attributes in mind, you should be fine.  Dont worry about format, others, including bots, deal with that.  Key is broad info. --Smokefoot (talk) 03:05, 1 April 2015 (UTC)
