“…The process of glycation, which is the irreversible nonenzymatic interaction between reducing sugars and proteins, lipids, or nucleic acids, results in the heterogeneous substances known as AGEs . Protein glycation typically occurs in both hyperglycemic and normal conditions, but the etiology of diabetes complications is due largely to exposure to hyperglycemic conditions, which trigger multiple metabolic pathways, including the polyol pathway, the protein kinase C (PKC) pathway, and the generation of AGEs . AGEs, which can be endogenous or exogenous, have been related to the progress of diabetes complications such as vascular problems, retinopathy, atherosclerosis, and renal failure. , Excessive AGE formation in tissues promotes the progress and development of diabetic complications, and blocking glycated progression is regarded as an important way of resolving AGE-initiated diabetes complications.…”
