科普專欄–薯不揀單 - 三十秒科學–何解糖尿病會引致白內障？

白內障是糖尿病引發出的一種常見徵狀，而箇中的因由，事實上是與我們日常生活息息相關的。478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7F5M12qKE

（圖2）我們眼睛的Lens部位之所以呈透明，主要是因為裡頭一種名為Crystallin的蛋白質所致。478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesI7Os4uTi

氨基酸組合成一起的話，我們會稱之為蛋白質。478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi46zoKVy6D
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuZrhab5s0
而糖尿病所引起的白內障，就是糖份與Crystallin蛋白質的氨基酸產生反應，形成淡黃色的物質所致。478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMbrbyPdzB

（圖3）氨基酸與某類別的糖份在高溫處理下，便會產生啡色物質及帶有香味等等的化學物，這個過程又稱之為梅納反應 (Maillard reaction);478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVtvo0TCxf
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtWH5d82DV
雖然梅納本人發佈梅納反應結果的時候，隻字沒有提及過會在食物上產生。478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVKjjIzfFI

而糖尿病白內障的形成，原理跟梅納反應非常接近，同樣是血糖與Crystallin氨基酸產生啡黃色物質所致。478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfFaaDt11w

不同的是，白內障整個過程是長期在37度裡頭發生，而我們日常煮食/焗麵包/燒烤的溫度大多情況下會比37度為高，故此眼睛產生啡黃色物質的速度亦比較緩慢。478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYaWkPoKDG9

有科學家亦曾嘗試將牛及人類的眼睛晶片放在陰暗位置的糖水裡10個月，其分離出的淡黃色物質，跟患有白內障的眼睛晶片所分離出的是一模一樣。478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTIHibNg4Q

蛋白質產生出來後，細胞會有機制會將其毀滅，然後再產生新的蛋白質;478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHLHfarWnT
尤其是蛋白質出現不正常的改變或損毀的時候，這過程尤為重要。478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9qTDm9E1A
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7Es8Ho8R6
而眼睛晶片的Crystallin蛋白質，因為天生屬於「毀滅然後再生」極為緩慢的一群，因此就算遭受到糖份改造，細胞亦沒能作出處理及更正。478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0eRik8A5W9
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtb9LSqEWT
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIv4gzuF8kT
除眼睛晶片外，紅血球亦是遭受糖份梅納反應影響的一群。因此很多時候，某類別被糖份改造的紅血球含量會成為探測糖尿病的指標。478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6rETG6cVP
