Advanced glycation end products

Aging is the progressive accumulation of damage to an organism over time leading to disease and death. Aging research has been very intensive in the last years aiming at characterizing the pathophysiology of aging and finding possibilities to fight age-related diseases. Various theories of aging have been proposed. In the last years advanced glycation end products (AGEs) have received particula...

Advanced glycation end products, soluble receptor for advanced glycation end products, and risk of colorectal cancer.

BACKGROUND Advanced glycation end products (AGE) accumulate in human tissue proteins during aging, particularly under hyperglycemia conditions. AGEs induce oxidative stress and inflammation via the receptor for AGEs (RAGE) and soluble RAGE (sRAGE) can neutralize the effects mediated by RAGE-ligand engagement. METHODS We examined the association between N(ε)-(carboxymethyl)lysine (CML), a prom...

Advanced glycation end products and the kidney

Bohlender, Jürgen M., Sybille Franke, Günter Stein, and Gunter Wolf. Advanced glycation end products and the kidney. Am J Physiol Renal Physiol 289: F645–F659, 2005; doi:10.1152/ajprenal.00398.2004.—Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) are a heterogeneous group of protein and lipids to which sugar residues are covalently bound. AGE formation is increased in situations with hyperglycemia (e.g....
