“…The reactive dicarbonyls MG [57,58,59,60,61,62], 3DG [58,59,62,63,64] and glyoxal [57,59,60,62] are elevated in serum of diabetic patients alongside blood glucose levels. Protein bound AGEs and AGE free adducts are increased in experimental models of diabetes [18,39,65], and in diabetic patients in parallel with their precursors [66,67].…”
