"The Clinical Implications of Advanced Glycation"Dr. Merlin C. Thomas (biography)
English - 2006-09-13 - 43 minutes
|
 | (62 slides) |
Summary :
In this presentation Dr. Merlin Thomas of the Baker Heart Research Institute talks about the relevance of advanced glycation in diabetic patients. A number of haemodynamic and metabolic factors operate in chronic hyperglycemia, says Dr. Thomas, however, one pivotal pathway appears to be the formation and accumulation of advanced glycation end-products (AGEs).
AGEs are formed by the non-enzymatic reaction between reducing sugars and the amino groups on proteins, lipids or nucleic acids, and have a wide range of chemical, cellular and tissue activities implicated in the development and progression of diabetic complications (1,2).
There is strong experimental evidence that AGEs have physiologically relevant actions in vivo, but what about in the diabetic patient? Here Dr. Thomas gives a detailed description of ten reasons why AGEs are important in the clinic.
