.../OPG axis, of altered RANKL/OPG production by B cells in HIV-associated bone loss or of a modulated expression of genes linked to B-cell biology in response to estrogen deficiency support this assumption. Furthermore, oxidative stress and the generation of advanced glycation end products have emerged...

.... The degree of early products of glycation was measured by two colorimetric methods, i.e. nitroblue tetrazolium and 2-thiobarbituric acid. Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) were determined by fluorescence measurement. The highest level of early products of glycation was found on day 2 after the beginning...

...-dependent mechanism, was shown later to be attributed to the Maillard reaction, the non-enzymatic glycosylation of protein (and nucleotide bases) amino groups followed by evolution of the reaction to advanced glycation end products (AGEs) involved in a number of harmful reactions. Many of these reactions...

...C. Casselmann; A. Reimann; I. Friedrich; A. Schubert; R.-E. Silber; A. Simm Background: Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) are formed by the reaction of sugars and NH 2 groups of lysine and arginine residues and have been shown to accumulate in tissues, including the heart, with normal ageing...

... increase of the biomechanical parameters in the young, an increase of maximum stiffness in mature, and only slight alterations of the biomechanical behavior in senescent RTTs. Both glucose incorporation and formation of advanced glycation end products were most prominent in 35-day-old RTTs...
