What Are AGEs?
Advanced glycation end products (AGEs for
short) are complex, oxidant compounds created
when simple sugars crosslink with proteins or
lipids through non-enzymatic reaction.
AGEs irreversibly accumulate in
cells and tissues of the body.
Nutritional interventions early in
the accumulation cycle is
important…
…to reduce the speed at which
glycation reactions occur.
But how?
