2-Iodo-4′-Methoxychalcone Attenuates Methylglyoxal-Induced Neurotoxicity by Activation of GLP-1 Receptor and Enhancement of Neurotrophic Signal, Antioxidant Defense and Glyoxalase Pathway

Methylglyoxal (MG) acts as a reactive precursor of advanced glycation end products (AGEs). This compound is often connected with pathologies such as diabetes, neurodegenerative processes and diseases of aging. 2-iodo-4′-methoxychalcone (CHA79), a synthetic halogen-containing chalcone deriv...
