Background: End-stage renal disease (ESRD) is strongly associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. Advanced glycation endproducts (AGEs) and dicarbonyls, major precursors of AGEs, may contribute to the pathophysiology of CVD in ESRD. However, detailed data on the courses of AGEs and dicarbonyls during the transition of ESRD patients to renal replacement therapy are lacking.
Methods: We quantified an extensive panel of free and protein-bound serum AGEs [ -(carboxymethyl)lysine (CML), -(carboxyethyl)lysine (CEL), -(5-hydro-5-methyl-4-imidazolon-2-yl)ornithine (MG-H1)], serum dicarbonyls [glyoxal (GO), methylglyoxal (MGO), 3-deoxyglucosone (3-DG)] and tissue AGE accumulation [estimated by skin autofluorescence (SAF)] in a combined cross-sectional and longitudinal observational study of patients with ESRD transitioning to dialysis or kidney transplantation (KTx), prevalent dialysis patients and healthy controls. Cross-sectional comparisons were performed with linear regression analyses, and courses following renal replacement therapy were analysed with linear mixed models.
Results: Free and protein-bound AGEs, dicarbonyls and SAF were higher in chronic kidney disease (CKD) Stage 5 non-dialysis (CKD 5-ND; = 52) and CKD Stage 5 dialysis (CKD 5-D; = 35) than in controls ( = 42). In addition, free AGEs, protein-bound CML, GO and SAF were even higher in CKD 5-D than in CKD5-ND. Similarly, following dialysis initiation ( = 43) free and protein-bound AGEs, and GO increased, whereas SAF remained similar. In contrast, following KTx ( = 21), free and protein-bound AGEs and dicarbonyls, but not SAF, markedly declined.
Conclusions: AGEs and dicarbonyls accumulate in uraemia, which is even exaggerated by dialysis initiation. In contrast, KTx markedly reduces AGEs and dicarbonyls. Given their associations with CVD risk in high-risk populations, lowering AGE and dicarbonyl levels may be valuable.

This study investigated the effects of pigskin gelatin hydrolysates (PGH, 4 %) as a cryoprotectant on the formation of advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) in pre-heated pork subjected to freeze-thaw cycles and subsequent reheating. During the freeze-thaw process, PGH significantly mitigated the increase in α-dicarbonyl precursors (α-DPs) and AGEs compared to the control group. Specifically, the levels of glyoxal and methylglyoxal decreased by 4.

Idesia polycarpa Maxim (IPM) cake meal, a major by-product of oil extraction, is often discarded in large quantities, resulting in considerable waste. This study explored the extraction of IPM polysaccharides (IPMPs) from cake meal using the innovative ultrasonic-assisted three-phase partitioning (UTPP) method, in comparison with conventional techniques, including acid, medium-temperature alkali, chelating agent, and enzyme extraction methods. The IPMP-UT prepared via UTPP method achieved superior extraction efficiency (10.

This study analyzes the interactions among Maillard reaction products (MRPs), digestibility and antioxidant activity in a β-lactoglobulin-glucose (βlg-Glu) model system during superheated steam treatment at 120 °C for 1 to 5 min. With an increase in treatment duration, there were significant increases in glucose loss, grafting degree, browning, and the formation of intermediate products in βlg-Glu. Characteristic MRPs, including α-dicarbonyl compounds, 5-hydroxymethylfurfural, and advanced glycation end products (AGEs), were formed through the degradation of sugars and condensation reactions between carbonyls and amines, accompanied by an increase in oxidative products.

Over the past decade, plant-based milk alternatives (PBMAs) have gained increasing popularity. Several processing technologies, including heat treatment, are usually employed during their production in order to replicate the properties of cow's milk. These processes can trigger the Maillard reaction, producing Maillard reaction products (MRPs) and amino acid cross-links, which may alter the nutritional profile and digestibility of PBMAs.

Diabetic retinopathy is the most common retinal vascular disease, affecting the retina's blood vessels and causing chronic inflammation, oxidative stress, and, ultimately, vision loss. Diabetes-induced elevated glucose levels increase glycolysis, the main methylglyoxal (MGO) formation pathway. MGO is a highly reactive dicarbonyl and the most rapid glycation compound to form endogenous advanced glycation end products (AGEs).
