This video discusses the formation and effects of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) in relation to diabetes. AGEs are formed through non-enzymatic reactions between carbohydrates and proteins, leading to complex chemical rearrangements. These AGEs can accumulate in long-lived proteins outside the cell and affect their translation and function. Different types of AGEs exist, and their formation is dependent on glucose concentration. AGEs are present in processed foods, and cooking heat increases their formation. The concentration of AGEs in the blood and urine reflects dietary intake, and high levels are associated with certain pathologies. In diabetes, the formation of AGEs leads to hyperglycemia and complications. These complications are linked to factors such as genetics, smoking, body mass index, dyslipidemia, and coagulation disorders. The damage caused by AGEs is related to oxidative stress and the formation of covalent cross-links. Concentrations of AGEs increase in organs and tissues such as the kidneys, skin, and vascular tissue, contributing to diabetic complications like neuropathy and atherosclerosis.
