This study aimed to develop in vivo methods for assessing facial anti-glycation and anti-aging effects and to investigate the link between glycation and aging signs. We utilized an AGE reader to measure AGEs levels on the face and arms, establishing a correlation to validate the reader's use for facial AGEs detection. Then the product's 7-day anti-glycation effect was evaluated. And its 56-day anti-aging effects were evaluated using non-invasive probes and VISIA CR, assessing skin tone (skin brightness L* and yellowness b*, skin gloss), texture (skin elasticity R2 and firmness F4, skin pores), and hydration (skin moisture content). Correlations between facial AGEs levels and aging parameters were analyzed. Results indicated a strong correlation between facial and arm AGEs after product application, supporting facial AGEs level as an assessment parameter. The product demonstrated substantial anti-glycation and anti-aging effects, suggesting the methods' efficacy for cosmetic evaluation. A stronger overall correlation was found between AGEs levels and skin tone than with skin texture and hydration, highlighting glycation's impact on skin color.

AGEing of collagen: The effects of glycation on collagen's stability, mechanics and assembly.

Matrix Biol

February 2025

Department of Physics, Simon Fraser University, Burnaby, BC, V5A 1S6, Canada. Electronic address:

Advanced Glycation End Products (AGEs) are the end result of the irreversible, non-enzymatic glycation of proteins by reducing sugars. These chemical modifications accumulate with age and have been associated with various age-related and diabetic complications. AGEs predominantly accumulate on proteins with slow turnover rates, of which collagen is a prime example.

Background: Globally, the progressive increase in the aging population has led to social and health problems associated with age-related chronic diseases, such as type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and sarcopenia. Recent studies have highlighted that sarcopenia and diabetes have a bidirectional relationship. Nutritional therapy is a key element in the treatment of both sarcopenia and diabetes.

Objectives: The aim of this systematic review was to assess the effect of DM (Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes) and hyperglycaemia on the physical and mechanical properties of dentine which is critical for successful endodontic treatment.

Method: An electronic search of the following databases: PubMed, MEDLINE, Web of Science and the grey literature was performed up until July 2024. In vitro and in vivo studies on the effect of DM or hyperglycaemia on the mechanical and physical properties of dentine were included.

Importance: Medication adherence is important for managing blood pressure (BP), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c). Interventions to improve medication adherence are needed.

Objective: To examine the effectiveness of an intervention using algorithmic identification of low medication adherence, clinical decision support to physicians, and pharmacist outreach to patients to improve cardiometabolic medication adherence and BP, LDL-C, and HbA1c control.
