Glycation, the non-enzymatic binding of glucose to free amino groups of an amino acid, yields irreversible heterogeneous compounds known as advanced glycation end products. Those products play a significant role in diabetic complications. In the present article we briefly discuss the contribution of advanced glycation end products to the pathogenesis of diabetic complications, such as atherosclerosis, diabetic retinopathy, nephropathy, neuropathy, and wound healing. Then we mention the various mechanisms by which polyphenols inhibit the formation of advanced glycation end products. Finally, recent supporting documents are presented to clarify the inhibitory effects of polyphenols on the formation of advanced glycation end products. Phytochemicals apply several antiglycation mechanisms, including glucose metabolism, amelioration of oxidative stress, scavenging of dicarbonyl species, and up/down-regulation of gene expression. To utilize polyphenols in order to remedy diabetic complications, we must explore, examine and clarify the action mechanisms of the components of polyphenols.

We examined whether the glucose levels and awareness of individuals without diabetes changed after using a sensor-based intermittently scanned continuous glucose monitoring (isCGM) system in their daily lives. Japanese individuals without a diabetes diagnosis wore the isCGM system while maintaining a normal lifestyle during the baseline period. A certified diabetes educator coached them on how to improve their lifestyle based on information from sensor data, food journals, and body composition.

Sawdust is a by-product of wood processing and it was rapidly humified with KSO under alkaline-thermal synergistic activation to produce a fulvic-like-acid (FLA) organic fertilizer (SFOF) in this study. The optimum conditions were KSO: KOH mass ratio of 1:2 and 150℃, meanwhile FLA yield could reach 180.3 mg/g in 2 h.

Popped grains, subjected to high temperatures (180 to 310 °C), may undergo the Maillard reaction (MR). This study, for the first time, assessed MR indicators in popped sorghum and maize using two methods: traditional hot salt (310 °C) and the industrial hot air process (210 °C), at initial (furosine), intermediate (Hydroxymethylfurfural "HMF") and advanced stages (browning index), while monitoring changes in carbohydrates and color parameters (L*, a*, b*, ΔE). A browner color was observed in popped grains, with a higher ΔE in the hot salt treatments which showed the highest furosine (37.

Apples ( Borkh.) are one of the most consumed fruits around the world with a high production of peels as wastes and by-products. In this work, peels from different commercial and local apple samples are explored as a source of phenolic bioactive compounds that could be directly related to the prevention of type 2 diabetes.

Both dietary and endogenous reactive carbonyl species, such as methylglyoxal (MGO) and glyoxal (GO), react with proteins to generate advanced glycation end products (AGEs), which contribute to metabolic diseases. However, accurately determining individual AGEs in biological samples remains challenging due to the lack of standardized methods. In this study, we optimized and detailed procedures for AGE digestion using enzyme cocktails and separation and detection via high-resolution LC-MS/MS.
