Questions and Answers

Which process involves simple sugars binding to molecules such as proteins and lipids?

  • Glucogenesis
  • Glycation (correct)
  • Glycogenolysis
  • Glycolysis

    • What can the predominance of advanced glycosylation end-products result in?

  • Muscle hypertrophy
  • Skeletal ossification
  • Vascular fibrosis (correct)
  • Nervous system excitation

    • According to the theory, what can glucose act as in relation to aging?

  • Accelerator
  • Mediator (correct)
  • Inhibitor
  • Neutralizer

    • How does glycation contribute to aging?

    <p>Glycation can have a cumulative effect during a lifetime, leading to abnormalities such as vascular fibrosis, thickened basement membranes, impaired lipid metabolism, and reduced collagenous elasticity.</p> Signup and view all the answers

    Explain the role of glucose in the theory of aging.

    <p>Glucose may act as a mediator of aging, particularly through the process of glycation where simple sugars bind to molecules like proteins and lipids.</p> Signup and view all the answers
