Aminoguanidine (AG) is a nucleophilic compound that inhibits nonenzymatic, glucose-derived collagen cross-linking in animal tissues. Whether AG can attenuate the accumulation of collagen cross-links in the Biceps femoris muscle of 64-wk-old broiler breeder hens as well as improve meat quality, was investigated. Eighty-four broiler breeder hens (30-wk-old) were divided into four equal groups. Each group was assigned randomly to diets supplemented with 0. 200, 400, or 800 ppm AG, respectively. Birds were fed individually, 150 g diet/d. After feeding AG for 34 wk, six birds from each group were killed and samples from the leg muscle were analyzed for changes in collagen content. Aminoguanidine decreased (P < 0.05) glucose-derived collagen cross-links in skeletal muscle as measured by fluorescence and collagen solubility. Insoluble collagen fraction decreased with increasing AG dosage, whereas acid-soluble and pepsin-soluble fractions increased with increasing AG dosage. Aminoguanidine did not affect shear force. In agreement with studies on animals with diabetes, AG is a potent inhibitor of glucose-derived cross-linking in chickens although the results from the measurements of shear force do not support its used for improving carcass quality in spent hens.

The repair of diabetic wounds remains challenging, primarily due to the high-glucose-derived immune inhibition which often leads to the excessive inflammatory response, impaired angiogenesis, and heightened susceptibility to infection. However, the means to reduce the immunosuppression and regulate the conversion of M2 phenotype macrophages under a high-glucose microenvironment using advanced biomaterials for diabetic wounds are not yet fully understood. Herein, we report two-dimensional carbide (MXene)-M2 macrophage exosome (Exo) nanohybrids (FM-Exo) for promoting diabetic wound repair by overcoming the high-glucose-derived immune inhibition.

Gallotannin (GT) is a class of polyphenols with antioxidant, anticancer, and antiviral activities. 2‑Deoxy‑D‑glucose (2DG), a glucose‑derived molecule, can inhibit glucose metabolism and induce endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. GT in primary‑cultured chondrocytes enhances expression of type II collagen, an indicator of differentiation, and cyclooxygenase‑2 (COX‑2), which mediates inflammatory reactions.

The differentiation of fibroblasts into a transient population of highly activated, extracellular matrix (ECM)-producing myofibroblasts at sites of tissue injury is critical for normal tissue repair. Excessive myofibroblast accumulation and persistence, often as a result of a failure to undergo apoptosis when tissue repair is complete, lead to pathological fibrosis and are also features of the stromal response in cancer. Myofibroblast differentiation is accompanied by changes in cellular metabolism, including increased glycolysis, to meet the biosynthetic demands of enhanced ECM production.

Background: Glucose-derived metabolites may alter the structure and biologic properties of important proteins in periodontium, such as collagens. As a consequence, it is possible that collagen-binding cells may change their phenotypic traits. Although the glucose-derived product methylglyoxal (MGO) has been detected in periodontal lesions, the precise effect of collagen glycation on gingival connective tissue biology is not fully understood.

Strong evidence has emerged in recent years in support of an association between advanced glycation and the complications of diabetes, whereby both glycoxidation products and oxoaldehydes have been implicated. In contrast, except for the fact that skin collagen-linked fructosamine (Amadori product) is a strong predictor of the risk of progression of microvascular disease in humans, Amadori products have not been associated with complications in most animal experiments. Below we develop the hypothesis that glucose-derived advanced glycation end products (AGEs), such as glucosepane, may inflict sustained damage to the extracellular matrix in diabetes and contribute to tissue stiffening and accelerated sclerosis in arteries, kidneys, and other organs as supported by immunochemical studies using a glucosepane antibody.
