Advances in Pathological Effects of Maillard Reaction Products in vivo

Abstract:

Maillard reaction is one of the common reactions between reducing sugar and protein in vivo,and is very complex in both the reaction process and its products and the end products of this reaction named as advanced glycation endproducts(AGEs).It was widely accepted that many human diseases origin from Maillard reaction.This review focused on the mechanisms of Maillard reaction in vivo,the relationships between AGEs and some diseases,and the progress of the inhibitors.
