glycation end products (AGEs): When proteins or fats are glycated
as a result of exposure to sugar, they can be an influencing factor for aging, including the development of degenerative diseases such

as they disrupt many vital hormonal signalling pathways, damage lipoproteins, make us more sensitive to sunlight, accelerate
glycation, and less resistant to social stress.

as a fever spiking too high can create problems of its own, increasing numbers and density of Aβ plaques in a hyperglycemic brain can initiate chain reactions of
glycation and oxidation that serve to exacerbate mitochondrial dysfunction, decreased ATP production, and cognitive decline.
Our diets are full of foods that produce advanced
glycation end products such
as barbequed or broiled meats, fried foods, foods cooked at high temperatures and foods that contain processed sugars.
When food is browned or caramelized
as part of the Maillard reaction, reducing sugars spontaneously react with lipids, nucleic acids, and aminopeptides, creating advanced
glycation end products (AGEs) in a process that generates free radicals, inflammation, and ensuing intestinal permeability (Vlassara & Uribarri, 2004; Bengmark, 2007).
They're called advanced
glycation end products (AGEs), and they're linked to diseases such

Glycation End products (AGEs).
However, although this adaptation allows survival it has secondary effects, because the increased lifetimes of proteins increase the probability of their undergoing undesirable chemical modifications, such
as oxidation,
glycation and cross-linking, which can alter their activities.
