AGE Inhibitors: Preventing Protein Cross-Linking and Tissue Stiffness
Glycation is a non-enzymatic reaction where excess blood sugars bind to structural proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids. This reaction forms irreversible structures known as **Advanced Glycation End-Products (AGEs)**, causing tissue stiffening and structural breakdown throughout the body. ### How Glycation Causes Aging AGEs create rigid cross-links between adjacent collagen fibers, causing arterial stiffness, loss of … Read more
