- formation. LCW strongly protected radical-induced allophycocyanin degradation during 60 min from the initiation of the reaction. LCW significantly inhibited α-glucosidase, DPP-IV and advanced glycation end product formation. Our results suggest that LCW had both anti-oxidant and anti-diabetic activities, and could be used for the prevention and treatment of oxidative stress and diabetes.
