6 Questions
What is glycation?
Glycation is the process by which simple sugars bind to molecules such as proteins and lipids.
How can the predominance of advanced glycosylation end-products affect the body?
The predominance of advanced glycosylation end-products can result in abnormalities such as vascular fibrosis, thickened basement membranes, impaired lipid metabolism, and reduced collagenous elasticity.
