Dietary Advanced Glycation End Products and Aging
Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) are a heterogeneous, complex group of compounds that are formed when reducing sugar reacts in a non-enzymatic way with amino acids in proteins and other macromolecules. This occurs both exogenously (in food) and endogenously (in humans) with greater concentrations found in older adults. While higher AGEs occur in both healthy older adults and those with ch...
متن کاملMechanical profiling of intervertebral discs.
Despite recent advances in imaging diagnostic technology and additional treatment options our ability to prevent or inhibit discogenic back pain has not drastically improved. The challenge of linking early degenerative patterns to dysfunction and pain remains. Using a novel material testing device designated the tissue diagnostic instrument (TDI) we measured the local stiffness and strain energ...
متن کاملHuman Thoracolumbar Intervertebral Discs Exhibit Progressive Stiffening in Caudal Direction
INTRODUCTION: The human spine is an extremely complex structure, whose principal function is to transfer loads from the upper body to the lower extremities while incorporating a certain amount of flexibility for locomotion. The balance between flexibility on one side and loading support on the other side is not well understood. This is in part due to the inherent limitations of studying the loa...
متن کاملThe role of autophagy in advanced glycation end product-induced proliferation and migration in rat vascular smooth muscle cells
Objective(s): To investigate the role of autophagy in advanced glycation end products (AGEs)-induced proliferation and migration in rat vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs).Materials and Methods: After culture, VSMCs were treated with 0, 1, 10, and 100 μg/ml concentrations of AGEs. Autophagy specific protein light chain 3 (LC3)-I/II was determined by western blotting, autophagosomes were observ...
متن کاملVascular Effects of Dietary Advanced Glycation End Products
Evidence has accumulated lately demonstrating that advanced glycation end products (AGEs) play an important role in the development of diabetic and cardiovascular complications as well as the development of other chronic diseases. AGEs originating from diet have a significant contribution to the AGEs body pool and therefore dietary interventions aiming at reducing AGEs load are believed to exer...
