| Bioactivity | 3-Deoxyglucosone (3-Deoxy-D-glucosone) is a reactive intermediate of the Maillard reaction and the polyol pathway. 3-Deoxyglucosone rapidly reacts with protein amino groups to form advanced glycation end products (AGEs), such as imidazolone, it is the most specific AGE for 3-DG. 3-Deoxyglucosone synergizes with low glucose to potentiate GLP-1 secretion and is considered as a biomarker for diabetes[1][2][3]. | 
| Invitro | 3-Deoxyglucosone (80 ng/ml-1000 ng/ml; 1 hour) markedly increases GLP-1 secretion by 1.23-folds in 300 ng/ml or 1000 ng/ml 3DG-treated group. But at alower concentration (80 ng/ml) has no effects[1].3-Deoxyglucosone (300 ng/ml; 1 hour) dramatically increases intracellular Ca2+ levels by Fluo-3/AM determination (2.5 μM for 30 mins). But 3DG does not affect intracellular cAMP levels in a cAMP Elisa assay[1].3-Deoxyglucosone (300 ng/ml; 1 hour) significantly increases the protein expression levels of TAS1R2, TAS1R3, and TRPM5 under both glucose-free and highconditions[1].
