Monascus has traditionally been used for the preparation of fermented products and as a food additive in Asia and is also a traditional Chinese medicine. The present review summarizes the underlying biochemical and molecular mechanisms that can explain anti-inflammation, antioxidation, hepatoprotection, inhibition of cancer cell invasion, and detoxification of dimerumic acid (DMA) isolated from Monascus-fermented...
The effects of dimerumic acid (DMA) on apoptosis prevention and insulin production in the glucose metabolite methylglyoxal (MG)-treated pancreatic RINm5F cells were evaluated. MG was found to induce apoptotic signal molecules mediated by oxidative stress in RINm5F cells, including caspase-3 and caspas-9, resulting in cell death and decreasing insulin production. In addition, DMA elevated insulin synthesis...
