How to help the skin cope with glycoxidation

Abstract

We have demonstrated that plant extracts can relieve the deleterious effects of glycation on human skin. Moreover, a plant extract rich in antioxidant molecules has also significantly preserved the human skin from glycoxidation attacks.

Frontiers in research on the Maillard reaction in aging and chronic disease

“…Several papers describe the changes in AGEs and other biomarkers in cardiovascular disease, including discussion of the usefulness of skin autofluorescence as a proxy for chemical or immunological measurement of tissue AGE accumulation in cardiovascular disease [17], and changes in AGEs and other biomarkers associated with hypertension [18] and metabolic syndrome [19]. Four more speculative papers present directions for future research, including basic research on the role of the Maillard reaction in endoplasmic reticulum stress [20], and the interaction between Maillard reactions and nitrosative stress [21], and applied research on the development of a reconstructed skin model for research on skin glycation [22] and approaches for limiting AGE damage to skin [23].…”
