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。421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQ9KvzBu5N

（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。421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNiZcYt3mw

氨基酸組合成一起的話，我們會稱之為蛋白質。421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLeJVrF6To
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyMuNLY8tX
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。421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0OX5NyhgM

（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);421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUqxhFExeS
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1H46ymibW
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。421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloCWIL4TR8

421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1FsIjHHlD
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。421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvPKlmEjlq

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。421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPldK5ZX0a

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。421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSHNvN56YH

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;421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpoYpwAnCTw
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。421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPsGxBLZIx
421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2U6tEKEmK
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。421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkizRKiFZg

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。421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtdz3iwkrL
