Pentosidine TFA

SKU: orb2283731

Description

Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) are compounds that are produced through non-enzymatic chemical reactions when sugars bond with proteins or lipids, occurring in conditions such as diabetes, uremia, aging, and rheumatic arthritis. A specific receptor, known as RAGE, interacts with select AGEs to trigger cell signaling. Pentosidine, a prominently studied natural AGE, serves as a common biomarker for assessing AGE production. Although pentosidine levels can be determined through urine analysis, it is predominantly broken down prior to excretion.
