Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) are proteins or lipids that become glycated as a result of exposure to sugars. [1] They are a bio-marker implicated in aging and the development, or worsening, of many degenerative diseases , such as diabetes , atherosclerosis , chronic kidney disease , and Alzheimer's disease .
Schematic of the relation between an immunoglobulin and RAGE Schematic of the RAGE gene and its products. RAGE (receptor for advanced glycation endproducts), also called AGER, is a 35 kilodalton transmembrane receptor [5] of the immunoglobulin super family which was first characterized in 1992 by Neeper et al. [6] Its name comes from its ability to bind advanced glycation endproducts (), which ...
N(6)-Carboxymethyllysine (CML), also known as N ε-(carboxymethyl)lysine, is an advanced glycation endproduct (AGE). CML has been the most used marker for AGEs in food analysis. CML has been the most used marker for AGEs in food analysis.
Sorbitol may also glycate nitrogens on proteins, such as collagen, and the products of these glycations are referred-to as AGEs - advanced glycation end-products. AGEs are thought to cause disease in the human body, one effect of which is mediated by RAGE (receptor for advanced glycation end-products) and the ensuing inflammatory responses induced.
The formation of imines is generally reversible, but subsequent to conversion to the keto-amine, the attached amine is fixed irreversibly. This Amadori product is an intermediate in the production of advanced glycation end-products (AGE)s. The formation of an advanced glycation end-product involves the oxidation of the Amadori product.

Tofu has an interesting backstory in the world of health, with ties to food movements in the 1960s and questionable research around soy adding to its mythos. But the negative stigma from being a ...
An important way AGEs exert their effect is through a receptor-mediated mechanism, most importantly by the receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE). RAGE is a signal transduction receptor found on a number of cell types including macrophages, endothelial cells, renal mesangial cells and podocytes in the glomerulus. [ 26 ]
