Glycation Prevention

Meaning

A targeted biochemical and nutritional strategy aimed at inhibiting the non-enzymatic reaction between reducing sugars, such as glucose, and proteins or lipids, a process that leads to the formation of harmful Advanced Glycation End products (AGEs). This preventative approach is clinically significant because AGE accumulation compromises the structural integrity and function of tissues, contributing to age-related pathology, including cardiovascular and dermal aging. Effective glycation prevention involves dietary, pharmacological, and supplement interventions.
