abstract：:Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) are the result of a nonenzymatic reaction of reducing sugars with primary amino groups of proteins (Maillard reaction). They accumulate in various tissues in the course of aging. Because AGEs induce protein cross-links and oxidative stress (radicals) within cells and tissues, the...
