Plasma AGE and Oxidation Products, Renal Function, and Preeclampsia in Pregnant Women with Type 1 Diabetes: A Prospective Observational Study. J Diabetes Res 2023; 2023:8537693. [PMID: 37601831 PMCID: PMC10435306 DOI: 10.1155/2023/8537693] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/29/2023] [Revised: 07/05/2023] [Accepted: 07/07/2023] [Indexed: 08/22/2023] Open
Abstract
Aims We aimed to determine whether plasma advanced glycation end products or oxidation products (AGE/oxidation-P) predict altered renal function and/or preeclampsia (PE) in pregnant women with type 1 diabetes. Methods Prospectively, using a nested case-control design, we studied 47 pregnant women with type 1 diabetes, of whom 23 developed PE and 24 did not. Nineteen nondiabetic, normotensive pregnant women provided reference values. In plasma obtained at ~12, 22, and 32 weeks' gestation (visits 1, 2, and 3; V1-V3), we measured five AGE products (carboxymethyllysine (CML), carboxyethyl-lysine (CEL), methylglyoxal-hydroimidazolone (MGH1), 3-deoxyglucosone hydroimidazolone (3DGH), and glyoxal-hydroimidazolone (GH1)) and four oxidation products (methionine sulfoxide (MetSO), 2-aminoadipic acid (2-AAA), 3-nitrotyrosine (3NT), and dityrosine (DT)), by liquid chromatography/mass spectroscopy. Clinical outcomes were "estimated glomerular filtration rate" (eGFR) at each visit and onset of PE. Results In diabetic women, associations between AGE/oxidation-P and eGFR were found only in those who developed PE. In this group, CEL, MGH1, and GH1 at V2 and CML, CEL, MGH1, and GH1 at V3 were inversely associated with contemporaneous eGFR, while CEL, MGH1, 3DGH, and GH1 at V2 were inversely associated with eGFR at V3 (all p < 0.05). There were no associations of plasma AGE or oxidation-P with pregnancy-related development of proteinuria or PE. Conclusions Inverse associations of second and early third trimester plasma AGE with eGFR among type 1 diabetic women who developed PE suggest that these patients constitute a subset susceptible to AGE-mediated injury and thus to cardiorenal complications later in life. However, AGE/oxidation-P did not predict PE in type 1 diabetic women.

Abstract
Diabetic foot ulcers are a major complication of diabetes that occurs following minor trauma. Diabetes-induced hyperglycemia is a leading factor inducing ulcer formation and manifests notably through the accumulation of advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) such as N-carboxymethyl-lysin. AGEs have a negative impact on angiogenesis, innervation, and reepithelialization causing minor wounds to evolve into chronic ulcers which increases the risks of lower limb amputation. However, the impact of AGEs on wound healing is difficult to model (both in vitro on cells, and in vivo in animals) because it involves a long-term toxic effect. We have developed a tissue-engineered wound healing model made of human keratinocytes, fibroblasts, and endothelial cells cultured in a collagen sponge biomaterial. To mimic the deleterious effects induced by glycation on skin wound healing, the model was treated with 300 µM of glyoxal for 15 days to promote AGEs formation. Glyoxal treatment induced carboxymethyl-lysin accumulation and delayed wound closure in the skin mimicking diabetic ulcers. Moreover, this effect was reversed by the addition of aminoguanidine, an inhibitor of AGEs formation. This in vitro diabetic wound healing model could be a great tool for the screening of new molecules to improve the treatment of diabetic ulcers by preventing glycation.

Advanced Glycation End Products (AGEs) and Chronic Kidney Disease: Does the Modern Diet AGE the Kidney? Nutrients 2022; 14:nu14132675. [PMID: 35807857 PMCID: PMC9268915 DOI: 10.3390/nu14132675] [Citation(s) in RCA: 23] [Impact Index Per Article: 11.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/24/2022] [Revised: 06/22/2022] [Accepted: 06/23/2022] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Since the 1980s, chronic kidney disease (CKD) affecting all ages has increased by almost 25%. This increase may be partially attributable to lifestyle changes and increased global consumption of a “western” diet, which is typically energy dense, low in fruits and vegetables, and high in animal protein and ultra-processed foods. These modern food trends have led to an increase in the consumption of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) in conjunction with increased metabolic dysfunction, obesity and diabetes, which facilitates production of endogenous AGEs within the body. When in excess, AGEs can be pathological via both receptor-mediated and non-receptor-mediated pathways. The kidney, as a major site for AGE clearance, is particularly vulnerable to AGE-mediated damage and increases in circulating AGEs align with risk of CKD and all-cause mortality. Furthermore, individuals with significant loss of renal function show increased AGE burden, particularly with uraemia, and there is some evidence that AGE lowering via diet or pharmacological inhibition may be beneficial for CKD. This review discusses the pathways that drive AGE formation and regulation within the body. This includes AGE receptor interactions and pathways of AGE-mediated pathology with a focus on the contribution of diet on endogenous AGE production and dietary AGE consumption to these processes. We then analyse the contribution of AGEs to kidney disease, the evidence for dietary AGEs and endogenously produced AGEs in driving pathogenesis in diabetic and non-diabetic kidney disease and the potential for AGE targeted therapies in kidney disease.

Abstract
Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) are a series of stable compounds produced under non-enzymatic conditions by the amino groups of biomacromolecules and the free carbonyl groups of glucose or other reducing sugars commonly produced by thermally processed foods. AGEs can cause various diseases, such as diabetes, atherosclerosis, neurodegeneration, and chronic kidney disease, by triggering the receptors of AGE (RAGEs) in the human body. There is evidence that AGEs can also affect the different structures and physiological functions of the skin. However, the mechanism is complicated and cumbersome and causes various harms to the skin. This article aims to identify and summarise the formation and characteristics of AGEs, focussing on the molecular mechanisms by which AGEs affect the composition and structure of normal skin substances at different skin layers and induce skin issues. We also discuss prevention and inhibition pathways, provide a systematic and comprehensive method for measuring the content of AGEs in human skin, and summarise and analyse their advantages and disadvantages. This work can help researchers acquire a deeper understanding of the relationship between AGEs and the skin and provides a basis for the development of effective ingredients that inhibit glycation.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION To assess impact of glycemic control on plasma protein-bound advanced glycation end products (pAGEs) and their association with subsequent microvascular disease. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Eleven pAGEs were measured by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry in banked plasma from 466 participants in the Diabetes Control and Complications Trial/Epidemiology of Diabetes Interventions and Complications (DCCT/EDIC) study at three time points (TPs): DCCT year 4 (TP1) and year 8 (TP2) and EDIC year 5/6 (TP3). Correlation coefficients assessed cross-sectional associations, and Cox proportional hazards models assessed associations with subsequent risk of microvascular complications through EDIC year 24. RESULTS Glucose-derived glycation products fructose-lysine (FL), glucosepane (GSPN) and carboxymethyl-lysine (CML) decreased with intensive glycemic control at both TP1 and TP2 (p<0.0001) but were similar at TP3, and correlated with hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c). At TP1, the markers were associated with the subsequent risk of several microvascular outcomes. These associations did not remain significant after adjustment for HbA1c, except methionine sulfoxide (MetSOX), which remained associated with diabetic kidney disease. In unadjusted models using all 3 TPs, glucose-derived pAGEs were associated with subsequent risk of proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR, p<0.003), clinically significant macular edema (CSME, p<0.015) and confirmed clinical neuropathy (CCN, p<0.018, except CML, not significant (NS)). Adjusted for age, sex, body mass index, diabetes duration and mean updated HbA1c, the associations remained significant for PDR (FL: p<0.002, GSPN: p≤0.02, CML: p<0.003, pentosidine: p<0.02), CMSE (CML: p<0.03), albuminuria (FL: p<0.02, CML: p<0.03) and CCN (FL: p<0.005, GSPN : p<0.003). CONCLUSIONS pAGEs at TP1 are not superior to HbA1c for risk prediction, but glucose-derived pAGEs at three TPs and MetSOX remain robustly associated with progression of microvascular complications in type 1 diabetes even after adjustment for HbA1c and other factors.

Abstract
AIM To measure skin autofluorescence in youth (<18 y.o.) and adults (≥18 y.o.) and to assess its relationship with type 1 diabetes, chronic complications and smoking. METHODS In a cross-sectional study (n = 383) skin autofluorescence was measured in 269 people with type 1 diabetes (67 with vascular complications) and 114 people without diabetes, covering eight decades of age. Associations of skin autofluorescence with demographics and traditional risk factors were assessed. RESULTS Skin autofluorescence increased with age in people with diabetes: for those with complications it increased by a mean ± se of 0.029 ± 0.003 arbitrary units per year (r = 0.76) and, for those without complications, it increased by 0.028 ± 0.002 arbitrary units (r = 0.77). These increases were higher than for people without diabetes, whose skin autofluorescence increased by 0.022 ± 0.002 arbitrary units (r = 0.78) per year (p = 0.004). Mean ±se age-adjusted skin autofluorescence was higher in people with diabetes complications vs people without diabetes complications (1.85 ± 0.04 vs 1.66 ± 0.02 arbitrary units) and people without diabetes (1.48 ± 0.03 arbitrary units; all P < 0.0001). Age-adjusted skin autofluorescence was higher in current smokers and recent ex-smokers vs non-smokers and longer-term ex-smokers (1.86 ± 0.06 vs 1.63 ± 0.02 arbitrary units; P = 0.0005). Skin autofluorescence area under the receiver-operating characteristic curve was 0.89 (95% CI 0.85-0.94) for retinopathy and 0.56 (95% CI 0.47-0.65) for nephropathy. CONCLUSIONS Skin autofluorescence increases with age, but faster in people with diabetes, particularly in those with complications and in smokers, consistent with accelerated aging. Skin autofluorescence may facilitate complication screening and prediction. Longitudinal studies are merited.

Abstract
This study presents an investigation into the role of Osteocalcin (OC) on bone biomechanics, with the results demonstrating that the protein's α-helix structures play a critical role in energy dissipation behavior in healthy conditions. In the first instance, α-helix structures have high affinity with the Hydroxyapatite (HAp) mineral surface and provide favorable conditions for adsorption of OC proteins onto the mineral surface. Using steered molecular dynamics simulation, several key energy dissipation mechanisms associated with α-helix structures were observed, which included stick-slip behavior, a sacrificial bond mechanism and a favorable binding feature provided by the Ca2+ motif on the OC protein. In the case of Type-2 Diabetes, this study demonstrated that possible glycation of the OC protein can occur through covalent crosslinking between Arginine and N-terminus regions, causing disruption of α-helices leading to a lower protein affinity to the HAp surface. Furthermore, the loss of α-helix structures allowed protein deformation to occur more easily during pulling and key energy dissipation mechanisms observed in the healthy configuration were no longer present. This study has significant implications for our understanding of bone biomechanics, revealing several novel mechanisms in OC's involvement in energy dissipation. Furthermore, these mechanisms can be disrupted following the onset of Type-2 Diabetes, implying that glycation of OC could have a substantial contribution to the increased bone fragility observed during this disease state.

Abstract
Objectives Type 1 diabetes is a risk factor for coronary heart disease. The underlying mechanism behind the accelerated atherosclerosis formation is not fully understood but may be related to the formation of oxidation products and advanced glycation end-products (AGEs). We aimed to examine the associations between the collagen oxidation product methionine sulfoxide; the collagen AGEs methylglyoxal hydroimidazolone (MG-H1), glucosepane, pentosidine, glucuronidine/LW-1; and serum receptors for AGE (RAGE) with measures of coronary artery disease in patients with long-term type 1 diabetes. Methods In this cross-sectional study, 99 participants with type 1 diabetes of ≥ 45-year duration and 63 controls without diabetes had either established coronary heart disease (CHD) or underwent Computed Tomography Coronary Angiography (CTCA) measuring total, calcified and soft/mixed plaque volume. Skin collagen methionine sulfoxide and AGEs were measured by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry and serum sRAGE/esRAGE by ELISA. Results In the diabetes group, low levels of methionine sulfoxide (adjusted for age, sex and mean HbA1c) were associated with normal coronary arteries, OR 0.48 (95% CI 0.27–0.88). Glucuronidine/LW-1 was associated with established CHD, OR 2.0 (1.16–3.49). MG-H1 and glucuronidine/LW-1 correlated with calcified plaque volume (r = 0.23–0.28, p<0.05), while pentosidine correlated with soft/mixed plaque volume (r = 0.29, p = 0.008), also in the adjusted analysis. Conclusions Low levels of collagen-bound methionine sulfoxide were associated with normal coronary arteries while glucuronidine/LW-1 was positively associated with established CHD in long-term type 1 diabetes, suggesting a role for metabolic and oxidative stress in the formation of atherosclerosis in diabetes.

Abstract
Advanced glycation end products (AGE) are produced by non-enzymatic reaction between glucose and biomolecules including proteins. AGE accumulation is known to cause alternations of structure and function in proteins and to be related with an increased risk of diabetic complications, cardiovascular diseases, and aging processes. Conventionally, AGE accumulation has been estimated by measuring auto fluorescence level using ultraviolet (UV) light excitation. In this study, we investigated an alternative approach to estimate auto fluorescence level and thus AGE accumulation in in vivo human skin using NIR (Near-Infrared) spectroscopy. To examine spectral features attributed to glycation in proteins, we first analyzed in vitro NIR spectra from native and glycated protein. Then, we further examined NIR spectra of in vivo skin from human subjects, and estimated their auto fluorescence level using several multivariate regression approaches. Our analysis in in vitro spectra from native and glycated albumin revealed that glycation may affect -CH and -NH stretching. Furthermore, we elucidated that those bands for -CH and -NH may be responsible for the variation in auto fluorescence level in human skin NIR spectra. Finally, auto fluorescence level was estimated from those NIR spectra using several multivariate regression methods: principal component regression (PCR), partial least square regression (PLS-R) and support vector regression (SVR). Among the three methods, SVR showed the best performance. We demonstrated in this study that NIR spectroscopy can be used as an alternative non-invasive method to estimate AGE accumulation in in vivo human skin tissue without UV radiation on skin tissue.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Early (furosine) and advanced (carboxymethyllysine, CML) products of glycation (AGEs) have been reported as increased in plasma, tissues, and organs of diabetic people, indicating a direct link between glycation and type 2 diabetes (T2D). While murine models present some of the characteristics observed in diabetic humans, their pertinence as models of glycation, particularly for T2D, remains poorly described. The aim of this study was to characterize and compare glycation in several organs of two commonly studied murine models of T2D using stable isotope dilution liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). METHODS Defining parameters of type 2 diabetes including body weight, fasting glycaemia, and glucose intolerance were measured in three different C57BL6 mouse models of T2D-the genetic LepRdb/db (db/db) model and two diet-induced obesity (DIO) models-and their respective controls. Furosine, free, and protein-bound CML were quantified in kidneys, lungs, heart, and liver by LC-MS/MS. RESULTS The obesity, hyperglycaemia, and glucose intolerance in db/db mice was accompanied by an increase of furosine and protein-bound CML levels in all organs relative to controls. The DIO models took several months to become obese, exhibited less severe hyperglycaemia and glucose intolerance, while glycation products were not significantly different between these groups (with the exception of furosine in liver and CML in lungs). CONCLUSIONS The db/db model better reflected the characteristics of human T2D compared with the DIO models and exhibited greater formation and accumulation of both furosine and protein-bound CML in all of the organs tested here.

Abstract
The recombinant DNA technology enabled the production of a variety of human therapeutic proteins. Accumulated clinical experience, however, indicates that the formation of antibodies against such proteins is a general phenomenon rather than an exception. The immunogenicity of therapeutic proteins results in inefficient therapy and in the development of undesired, sometimes life-threatening, side reactions. The human proteins, designed for clinical application, usually have the same amino acid sequence as their native prototypes and it is not yet fully clear what the reasons for their immunogenicity are. In previous studies we have demonstrated for the first time that interferon-β (IFN-β) pharmaceuticals, used for treatment of patients with multiple sclerosis, do contain advanced glycation end products (AGEs) that contribute to IFN-β immunogenicity. AGEs are the final products of a chemical reaction known as the Maillard reaction or glycation, which implication in protein drugs’ immunogenicity has been overlooked so far. Therefore, the aim of the present article is to provide a comprehensive overview on the Maillard reaction with emphasis on experimental data and theoretical consideration telling us why the Maillard reaction warrants special attention in the context of the well-documented protein drugs’ immunogenicity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Young patients with diabetes present with reduced compensatory responses to hypovolemic stress. Less compliant veins could be a contributing factor, since roughly two-thirds of the blood volume resides in the venous system as a blood reservoir, adjusting proper venous inflow to the heart. The aim of this study was to measure venous compliance and lower limb blood pooling during hypovolemic stress, and to correlate them to indices of diabetes severity and glucose control. METHODS Fifteen young women with type 1 diabetes (DW) and 18 healthy age-matched women (C) were subjected to lower body negative pressure (LBNP) (11-44 mmHg), creating hypovolemic stress. Lower limb blood pooling was measured with strain gage technique and venous compliance calculated as the relationship between ∆V/∆P. RESULTS DW presented with reduced blood pooling (e.g., blood pooling during LBNP of 44 mmHg, DW, 1.69 ± 0.10; C, 2.10 ± 0.08 (ml/100 ml), and P = 0.003). Calculated venous compliance was also reduced in DW (e.g., compliance at 20 mmHg, DW, 0.046 ± 0.003; C, 0.059 ± 0.002 (ml/100 ml/mmHg), and P = 0.002). A progressive reduction in both venous compliance (P < 0.007) and blood pooling (P < 0.005) was seen with increasing level of HbA1c, and furthermore, less strongly associated with presence of microvascular disease (signs of retinopathy). CONCLUSION Women with type 1 diabetes present with both reduced venous compliance and blood pooling. The reductions were particularly present in patients with long-standing poor glycemic control.

Abstract
Diabetic complications are major health problems worldwide, with the cost of caring for diabetes rising to US$245 billion in 2012 in the U.S.A. alone. It is widely recognized that non-enzymatic glycation in diabetes is a major cause of damage and dysfunction of key vascular cells. MG (methylglyoxal) is directly toxic to tissues, and is a major precursor of AGEs (advanced glycation end-products). Various propensities to diabetic complications are seen among individuals with diabetes, with accelerated rates occurring in some individuals with modest hyperglycaemia, while others never progress in spite of poor glycaemic control over many years. Since production and detoxification of MG is ultimately controlled by enzymatic mechanisms, both genetic and environmental factors could regulate tissue glycation and potentially account for these variable complication rates. Activation of pathways that determine MG levels occurs in susceptible patients, indicting an important role in pathogenesis. MG leads to formation of specific AGEs, which are likely to predict propensity to diabetic complications. We have shown recently that three specific plasma AGE biomarkers [MG-H1 (MG-derived hydroimidazolones), CEL (Nε-carboxyethyl-lysine) and CML (Nε-carboxymethyl-lysine)] predict biopsy-documented fast DN (diabetic nephropathy) progression. Since two of the predictive biomarkers are MG end-products, these outcomes support a role for MG in the development of DN. Our studies on MG and its end-products have also shown anti-complication effects of the drug metformin, which binds and inactivates MG, thus reducing MG-related AGEs. We have also shown that reducing post-meal glucose decreases MG levels, as well as levels of MG-related AGEs. Our clinical outcome studies have been based on the novel concept that the unique glycation products that we can measure reflect the activity of specific chemical pathways that are selectively activated by hyperglycaemia in patients that are inherently more susceptible to diabetic complications, and can be used to solve other diabetes-related medical questions.

Abstract
AIMS To study intima media thickness (cIMT) and arterial stiffness in type 1 diabetes of long duration, and their associations with the collagen cross-linker glucosepane and inflammatory and oxidative markers. METHODS Twenty-seven individuals with type 1 diabetes mellitus of 40 years duration from the Oslo Study cohort and 24 age-matched controls were included. cIMT measurements of the carotid artery were performed longitudinally. Pulse wave velocity (PWV), augmentation index (AIx) and augmentation pressure (AP) were assessed cross-sectionally. Glucosepane and the oxidative product methionine sulfoxide (MetSO) were determined in skin collagen by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. Circulating inflammatory markers were determined by ELISAs. RESULTS The diabetes patients had significantly increased cIMT and arterial stiffness compared to controls. Significant correlations were noted for skin glucosepane with cIMT (r=0.41) and PWV (r=0.44). Skin MetSO and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) correlated significantly with AIx and AP. After correcting for age and mean arterial pressure in multiple linear regression analysis, MetSO and MCP-1 were both independently associated with AIx and AP. CONCLUSIONS These results suggest more premature atherosclerosis and arterial pathology in individuals with diabetes compared to age-matched controls. They also suggest an association between the arterial pathology and markers of collagen crosslinking, oxidative damage and inflammation in type 1 diabetes patients of forty years disease duration.

Abstract
Glycation is one of the major processes responsible for skin aging through induction of the detrimental formation of advanced glycation end-products (AGEs). We developed an innovative tissue-engineered skin combining both a capillary-like and a nerve networks and designed a protocol to induce continuous AGEs formation by a treatment with glyoxal. We determined the optimal concentration of glyoxal to induce AGEs formation identified by carboxymethyl-lysin expression while keeping their toxic effects low. We showed that our tissue-engineered skin cultured for 44 days and treated with 200 μm glyoxal for 31 days displayed high carboxymethyl-lysine expression, which induced a progressively increased alteration of its capillary and nerve networks between 28 and 44 days. Moreover, it produced an epidermal differentiation defect evidenced by the lack of loricrin and filaggrin expression in the epidermis. These effects were almost completely prevented by addition of aminoguanidine 1.5 mm, an anti-glycation compound, and only slightly decreased by alagebrium 500 μm, an AGE-breaker molecule. This tissue-engineered skin model is the first one to combine a capillary and nerve network and to enable a continuous glycation over a long-term culture period. It is a unique tool to investigate the effects of glycation on skin and to screen new molecules that could prevent AGEs formation.

Abstract
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is an organelle that primarily functions to synthesise new proteins and degrade old proteins. Owing to the continual and variable nature of protein turnover, protein synthesis is inherently an error-prone process and is therefore tightly regulated. Fortunately, if this balance between synthesis and degradation is perturbed, an intrinsic response, the unfolded protein response (UPR) is activated to restore ER homoeostasis through the action of inositol-requiring protein 1, activating transcription factor 6 and PKR-like ER kinase transmembrane sensors. However, if the UPR is oversaturated and misfolded proteins accumulate, the ER can shift into a cytotoxic response, a physiological phenomenon known as ER stress. The mechanistic pathways of the UPR have been extensively explored; however, the role of this process in such a synthetic organ as the kidney requires further clarification. This review will focus on these aspects and will discuss the role of ER stress in specific resident kidney cells and how this may be integral in the pathogenesis and progression of diabetic nephropathy (DN). Given that diabetes is a perturbed state of protein turnover in most tissues, it is important to understand if ER stress is a secondary or tertiary response to other changes within the diabetic milieu or if it is an independent accelerator of kidney disease. Modulators of ER stress could provide a valuable tool for the treatment of DN and are under active investigation in other contexts.

Abstract
Maillard reactions are an unavoidable feature of life that appear to be damaging to cell and organisms. Consequently, all living systems must have ways to protect themselves against this process. As of 2012, several such defense mechanisms have been identified. They are all enzymatic and were found in mesophilic organisms. To date, no systematic study of Maillard reactions and the relevant defense mechanisms has been conducted in thermophiles (50°C-80°C) or hyperthermophiles (80°C-120°C). This is surprisingly because Maillard reactions become significantly faster and potent with increasing temperatures. This review examines this neglected issue in two well-defined sets of hyperthermophiles. My analysis suggests that hyperthermophiles cope with glycation stress by several mechanisms: • Absence of glycation-prone head groups (such as ethanoalamine) from hyperthermophilic phospholipids • Protection of reactive carbohydrates and labile metabolic intermediates by substrate channeling. • Conversion of excess reactive sugars such as glucose to non-reactive compounds including trehalose, di-myo-inositol-phosphate and mannosylglycerate. • Detoxification of methylglyoxal and other ketoaldehydes by conversion to inert products through a variety of reductases and dehydrogenases. • Scavenging of the remaining carbonyls by nucleophilic amines, including a variety of novel polyamines. Disruption of the Maillard process at its early stages, rather than repair of damage caused by it at later stages, appears to be the preferred strategy in the organisms examined. The most unique among these mechanisms appears to be a polyamine-based scavenging system. Undertaking research of the Maillard process in hyperthermophiles is important in its own right and is also likely to provide new insights for the control of these reactions in humans, especially in diseases such as diabetes mellitus.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Diabetes is associated with hemodynamic instability during different situations involving acute circulatory stress in daily life. Young men with type 1 diabetes have been shown to have impaired circulatory response to hypovolemic stress. The effect of type 1 diabetes on cardiovascular response to hypovolemia in young women is unknown, however. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Lower body negative pressure of 30 cm H2O was used to create rapid hypovolemic stress in 15 young women with type 1 diabetes (DW) and 16 healthy women (control subjects [C]). Compensatory mobilization of venous capacitance blood (capacitance response) and net fluid absorption from tissue to blood were measured with a volumetric technique. Overall cardiovascular responses and plasma norepinephrine levels were measured. RESULTS Capacitance response was reduced (DW, 0.67 ± 0.05; C, 0.92 ± 0.06) and developed slower in DW (P < 0.01). Capacitance response was further reduced with increasing levels of HbA1c. Fluid absorption was almost halved in DW (P < 0.01). The initial vasoconstrictor response was reduced and developed slower in DW (P < 0.05). Arterial vasoconstriction was further reduced in the presence of microvascular complications (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS DW present with decreased and slower mobilization of venous capacitance blood and decreased net fluid absorption from tissue to blood during hypovolemic circulatory stress. Collectively, this indicates that DW are prone to hemodynamic instability, especially in the presence of microvascular complications and poor glycemic control.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine whether skin intrinsic fluorescence (SIF) is associated with long-term complications of type 1 diabetes (T1D) and, if so, whether it is independent of chronic glycemic exposure and previous intensive therapy. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We studied 1,185 (92%) of 1,289 active Diabetes Control and Complications Trial (DCCT)/Epidemiology of Diabetes Interventions and Complications (EDIC) participants from 2010 to 2011. SIF was determined using a fluorescence spectrometer and related cross-sectionally to recently determined measures of retinopathy (stereo fundus photography), cardiac autonomic neuropathy (CAN; R-R interval), confirmed clinical neuropathy, nephropathy (albumin excretion rate [AER]), and coronary artery calcification (CAC). RESULTS Overall, moderately strong associations were seen with all complications, before adjustment for mean HbA1c over time, which rendered these associations nonsignificant with the exception of sustained AER>30 mg/24 h and CAC, which were largely unaffected by adjustment. However, when examined within the former DCCT treatment group, associations were generally weaker in the intensive group and nonsignificant after adjustment, while in the conventional group, associations remained significant for CAN, sustained AER>30 mg/24 h, and CAC even after mean HbA1c adjustment. CONCLUSIONS SIF is associated with T1D complications in DCCT\EDIC. Much of this association appears to be related to historical glycemic exposure, particularly in the previously intensively treated participants, in whom adjustment for HbA1c eliminates statistical significance.

Abstract
The increased formation of advanced glycation endproducts (AGEs) constitutes a potential mechanism of hyperglycaemia-induced micro- and macrovascular disease in diabetes. In vitro and animal experiments have shown that various interventions can inhibit formation and/or actions of AGEs, in particular the specific AGE inhibitor aminoguanidine and the AGEs crosslink breaker alagebrium, and the B vitamins pyridoxamine and thiamine, and the latter's synthetic derivative, benfotiamine. The potential clinical value of these interventions, however, remains to be established. The present review provides, from the clinical point of view, an overview of current evidence on interventions in the glycation pathway relating to (i) the clinical benefits of specific AGE inhibitors and AGE breakers and (ii) the potential AGE-inhibiting effects of therapies developed for purposes unrelated to the glycation pathway. We found that safety and/or efficacy in clinical studies with the specific AGE inhibitor, aminoguanidine and the AGE breaker, alagebrium, appeared to be a concern. The clinical evidence on the potential AGE-inhibiting effects of B vitamins is still limited. Finally, current evidence for AGE inhibition by therapies developed for purposes unrelated to glycation is limited due to a large heterogeneity in study designs and/or measurement techniques, which have often been sub-optimal. We conclude that, clinical evidence on interventions to inhibit formation and/or action of AGEs is currently weak and unconvincing.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The Diabetes Control and Complications Trial (DCCT)/Epidemiology of Diabetes Interventions and Complications(EDIC) studies have established multiyear mean hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) as predictive of microvascular complications in persons with type 1 diabetes. However, multiyear mean HbA1c is not always available in the clinical setting. Skin advanced glycation end products (AGEs) are thought to partially reflect effects of hyperglycemia over time, and measurement of skin AGEs might be a surrogate for multiyear mean HbA1c. As certain AGEs fluoresce and skin fluorescence has been demonstrated to correlate with the concentration of skin AGEs, noninvasive measurement by skin intrinsic fluorescence(SIF) facilitates the exploration of the association of mean HbA1c and other clinical/technical factors with SIF using the detailed phenotypic database available in DCCT/EDIC. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Of the subjects, 1,185 (53% male) had measurements of SIF during years 16/17 of EDIC with mean age and diabetes duration of 51.5 and 29.8 years, respectively. SIF measurements were obtained on the underside of the forearm near the elbow using a skin fluorescence spectrometer. Demographic data and health history were self-reported, and an annual standardized examination measured clinical status. Linear regression models were constructed to identify significant clinical and technical factors associated with SIF, and the final models only used factors that were significant. RESULTS SIF ranged from 8.7 to 54.0 arbitrary units and was log-normally distributed. Log(SIF) correlated more with mean HbA1c as the time period increased. In multivariate analyses log(SIF) was significantly associated with mean HbA1c, age,estimated glomerular filtration rate < 60mL/min/m2, smoking status, skin tone, and clinic latitude <37 N. CONCLUSIONS SIF reflects age, mean HbA1c over time, smoking, and renal damage, which are known risk factors for diabetes complications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Proteins in human tissues and body fluids continually undergo spontaneous oxidation and glycation reactions forming low levels of oxidation and glycation adduct residues. Proteolysis of oxidised and glycated proteins releases oxidised and glycated amino acids which, if they cannot be repaired, are excreted in urine. SCOPE OF REVIEW In this review we give a brief background to the classification, formation and processing of oxidised and glycated proteins in the clinical setting. We then describe the application of stable isotopic dilution analysis liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) for measurement of oxidative and glycation damage to proteins in clinical studies, sources of error in pre-analytic processing, corroboration with other techniques - including how this may be improved - and a systems approach to protein damage analysis for improved surety of analyte estimations. MAJOR CONCLUSIONS Stable isotopic dilution analysis LC-MS/MS provides a robust reference method for measurement of protein oxidation and glycation adducts. Optimised pre-analytic processing of samples and LC-MS/MS analysis procedures are required to achieve this. GENERAL SIGNIFICANCE Quantitative measurement of protein oxidation and glycation adducts provides information on level of exposure to potentially damaging protein modifications, protein inactivation in ageing and disease, metabolic control, protein turnover, renal function and other aspects of body function. Reliable and clinically assessable analysis is required for translation of measurement to clinical diagnostic use. Stable isotopic dilution analysis LC-MS/MS provides a "gold standard" approach and reference methodology to which other higher throughput methods such as immunoassay and indirect methods are preferably corroborated by researchers and those commercialising diagnostic kits and reagents.

Abstract
Aging is the progressive accumulation of damage to an organism over time leading to disease and death. Aging research has been very intensive in the last years aiming at characterizing the pathophysiology of aging and finding possibilities to fight age-related diseases. Various theories of aging have been proposed. In the last years advanced glycation end products (AGEs) have received particular attention in this context. AGEs are formed in high amounts in diabetes but also in the physiological organism during aging. They have been etiologically implicated in numerous diabetes- and age-related diseases. Strategies inhibiting AGE accumulation and signaling seem to possess a therapeutic potential in these pathologies. However, still little is known on the precise role of AGEs during skin aging. In this review the existing literature on AGEs and skin aging will be reviewed. In addition, existing and potential anti-AGE strategies that may be beneficial on skin aging will be discussed.

Abstract
PURPOSE We determined the association between novel and acid-labile skin collagen-linked advanced glycation endproducts (AGEs) and the progression of microvascular and neuropathic complications from baseline to near study closeout in the Diabetes Control and Complications Trial (DCCT). METHODS From a skin biopsy obtained near the close of the DCCT, proteolytic collagen digests were analyzed by liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) for glucosepane (GSPNE), glyoxal and methylglyoxal hydroimidazolones (G-H1 and MG-H1) and the glycation product fructose-lysine (FL) using isotope dilution method. RESULTS GSPNE and MG-H1 correlated with age and diabetes duration (P<0.02), while GSPNE and FL correlated with the history of glycemia expressed as mean A1c (P≤0.003). Age and duration-adjusted GSPNE and FL levels were lower in intensive (INT) vs. conventional (CONV) treatment subjects in the primary prevention DCCT cohort (P<0.0001), and FL was lower in INT in the secondary intervention cohort (P<0.0001). GSPNE was associated with increased incidence of retinopathy progression (odds ratio (OR) / unit increase in GSPNE: 2.5 for 3 step progression on the ETDRS scale, P=0.003) and sustained≥3 microaneurysms (MA) (OR=4.8, P<0.0001) from DCCT baseline up to the time of the biopsy, and prevalence of microalbuminuria or AER>40mg/24h (OR=5.3, P<0.0001), and confirmed clinical neuropathy (OR=3.4, P=0.015) at the time of the biopsy. GSPNE adjusted for mean A1c remained significant for ≥3 MA (P=0.0252) and AER (P=0.0006). The strong association of complications with A1c was reduced or eliminated when adjusted for GSPNE. CONCLUSIONS Glucosepane is a novel AGE marker of diabetic complications that is robustly associated with nephropathic, retinopathic and neuropathic outcomes despite adjustment for A1c, suggesting that it could be one mediator of these complications with possible diagnostic implications.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine if ocular and skin autofluorescence, reflecting advanced glycation end-products, and vascular stiffness correlate in non-diabetic and Type 1 diabetic subjects and if levels differ by diabetes status. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Patients with Type 1 diabetes (n = 69, 19 with and 50 without vascular complications) and 60 subjects without diabetes (control) had ocular and skin autofluorescence and pulse-wave analysis performed in the fasted state. Correlations between measures within groups used the Pearson or Spearman correlation-coefficient and measures between groups were compared by ANOVA. RESULTS Lens and skin autofluorescence correlated in control (r = 0.58, P = 0.0001) and in Type 1 diabetes (r = 0.53, P = 0.001). Corneal autofluorescence correlated with lens (r = 0.53, r = 0.52, P = 0.0001) and skin autofluorescence (r = 0.34, P = 0.01 and r = 0.49, P = 0.00001) in control and Type 1 diabetes respectively. In Type 1 diabetes, small and large artery elasticity correlated inversely and systemic vascular resistance correlated positively with skin autofluorescence (all P = 0.001), and with lens and corneal autofluorescence (all P < 0.03). In Type 1 diabetes tissue advanced glycation end-products correlated with C-reactive protein and inversely with the estimated glucose disposal rate and with circulating advanced glycation end-product levels. Relative to non-diabetic subjects, lens, corneal and skin fluorescence were increased (all P < 0.001) and small artery elasticity was decreased in diabetes (P = 0.04). Lens, corneal and skin autofluorescence were greater (all P = 0.0001) in patients with Type 1 diabetes with complications compared to those without complications, but small artery elasticity did not differ significantly. CONCLUSIONS Ocular and skin autofluorescence and vascular stiffness correlate in non-diabetic and Type 1 diabetes subjects and are increased in Type 1 diabetes. Tissue advanced glycation end-products correlate with vascular risk factors, including circulating advanced glycation end-products.

Abstract
Diabetic neuropathy is the most common and debilitating complication of diabetes mellitus with more than half of all patients developing altered sensation as a result of damage to peripheral sensory neurons. Hyperglycemia results in altered nerve conduction velocities, loss of epidermal innervation, and development of painful or painless signs and symptoms in the feet and hands. Current research has been unable to determine whether a patient will develop insensate or painful neuropathy or be protected from peripheral nerve damage all together. One mechanism that has been recognized to have a role in the pathogenesis of sensory neuron damage is the process of reactive dicarbonyls forming advanced glycation endproducts (AGEs) as a direct result of hyperglycemia. The glyoxalase system, composed of the enzymes glyoxalase I (GLO1) and glyoxalase II, is the main detoxification pathway involved in breaking down toxic reactive dicarbonyls before producing carbonyl stress and forming AGEs on proteins, lipids, or nucleic acids. This review discusses AGEs, GLO1, their role in diabetic neuropathy, and potential therapeutic targets of the AGE pathway.

Abstract
Biomarkers are conventionally defined as "biological molecules that represent health and disease states." They typically are measured in readily available body fluids (blood or urine), lie outside the causal pathway, are able to detect subclinical disease, and are used to monitor clinical and subclinical disease burden and response to treatments. Biomarkers can be "direct" endpoints of the disease itself, or "indirect" or surrogate endpoints. New technologies (such as metabolomics, proteomics, genomics) bring a wealth of opportunity to develop new biomarkers. Other new technologies enable the development of nonmolecular, functional, or biophysical tissue-based biomarkers. Diabetes mellitus is a complex disease affecting almost every tissue and organ system, with metabolic ramifications extending far beyond impaired glucose metabolism. Biomarkers may reflect the presence and severity of hyperglycemia (ie, diabetes itself) or the presence and severity of the vascular complications of diabetes. Illustrative examples are considered in this brief review. In blood, hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) may be considered as a biomarker for the presence and severity of hyperglycemia, implying diabetes or prediabetes, or, over time, as a "biomarker for a risk factor," ie, hyperglycemia as a risk factor for diabetic retinopathy, nephropathy, and other vascular complications of diabetes. In tissues, glycation and oxidative stress resulting from hyperglycemia and dyslipidemia lead to widespread modification of biomolecules by advanced glycation end products (AGEs). Some of these altered species may serve as biomarkers, whereas others may lie in the causal pathway for vascular damage. New noninvasive technologies can detect tissue damage mediated by AGE formation: these include indirect measures such as pulse wave analysis (a marker of vascular dysfunction) and more direct markers such as skin autofluorescence (a marker of long-term accumulation of AGEs). In the future, we can be optimistic that new blood and tissue-based biomarkers will enable the detection, prevention, and treatment of diabetes and its complications long before overt disease develops.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) and oxidation products (OPs) play an important role in diabetes complications, aging, and damage from sun exposure. Measurement of skin autofluorescence (SAF) has been promoted as a noninvasive technique to measure skin AGEs, but the actual products quantified are uncertain. We have compared specific SAF measurements with analytically determined AGEs and oxidative biomarkers in skin collagen and determined if these measurements can be correlated with chronological aging and actinic exposure. METHODS SAF at four excitation (ex)/emission (em) intensities was measured on the upper inner arm ("sun protected") and dorsal forearm ("sun exposed") in 40 subjects without diabetes 20-60 years old. Skin collagen from the same sites was analyzed by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry for three AGEs-pentosidine, carboxymethyllysine (CML), and carboxyethyllysine (CEL)-and the OP methionine sulfoxide (MetSO). RESULTS There was poor correlation of AGE-associated fluorescence spectra with AGEs and OP in collagen, with only pentosidine correlating with fluorescence at 370(ex)/440(em) nm. A little-studied SAF (440(ex)/520(em) nm), possibly reflecting elastin cross-links, correlated with all AGEs and OPs. Levels of CML, pentosidine, and MetSO, but not SAF, were significantly higher in sun-exposed skin. These AGEs and OPs, as well as SAF at 370(ex)/440(em) nm and 440(ex)/520(em) nm, increased with chronological aging. CONCLUSIONS SAF measurements at 370(ex)/440(em) nm and 335(ex)/385(em) nm, except for pentosidine, which correlated with fluorescence at 370(ex)/440(em), correlate poorly with glycated and oxidatively modified protein in human skin and do not reflect actinic modification. A new fluorescence measurement (440(ex)/520(em) nm) appears to reflect AGEs and OPs in skin.

Abstract
In patients with essential hypertension, inhibition of glucose utilization in tissues was detected similar to that in diabetics. High levels of glycated compounds were found in cerebral, cardiac, and renal tissues of patients dead from coronary heart disease complicated and not complicated from diabetes mellitus and essential hypertension compared to victims dead from traumas. Experimental studies on rabbits and rats showed that the content of glycoconjugates in tissues did not increase in short-term (exogenous or stress-associated) hyperglycemia, while accumulation of glycoconjugates in pericapillary, pericytic, and cellular structures in long-term hyperglycemia caused deformation of tissue ultrastructure. These disorders can impede capillary transudation, initiate and stabilize arterial hypertension, and lead to multiple organ failure.

Abstract
Diabetic neuropathy is a common complication of diabetes mellitus with over half of all patients developing neuropathy symptoms due to sensory nerve damage. Diabetes-induced hyperglycemia leads to the accelerated production of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) that alter proteins, thereby leading to neuronal dysfunction. The glyoxalase enzyme system, specifically glyoxalase I (GLO1), is responsible for detoxifying precursors of AGEs, such as methylglyoxal and other reactive dicarbonyls. The purpose of our studies was to determine if expression differences of GLO1 may play a role in the development of diabetic sensory neuropathy. BALB/cJ mice naturally express low levels of GLO1, while BALB/cByJ express approximately 10-fold higher levels on a similar genetic background due to increased copy numbers of GLO1. Five weeks following STZ injection, diabetic BALB/cJ mice developed a 68% increase in mechanical thresholds, characteristic of insensate neuropathy or loss of mechanical sensitivity. This behavior change correlated with a 38% reduction in intraepidermal nerve fiber density (IENFD). Diabetic BALB/cJ mice also had reduced expression of mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation proteins in Complexes I and V by 83% and 47%, respectively. Conversely, diabetic BALB/cByJ mice did not develop signs of neuropathy, changes in IENFD, or alterations in mitochondrial protein expression. Reduced expression of GLO1 paired with diabetes-induced hyperglycemia may lead to neuronal mitochondrial damage and symptoms of diabetic neuropathy. Therefore, AGEs, the glyoxalase system, and mitochondrial dysfunction may play a role in the development and modulation of diabetic peripheral neuropathy.

Abstract
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DN) is a common complication of diabetes; however, the mechanisms producing positive or negative symptoms are not well understood. The enzyme glyoxalase I (GLO1) detoxifies reactive dicarbonyls that form AGEs and may affect the way sensory neurons respond to heightened AGE levels in DN. We hypothesised that differential GLO1 levels in sensory neurons may lead to differences in AGE formation and modulate the phenotype of DN. METHODS Inbred strains of mice were used to assess the variability of Glo1 expression by quantitative RT-PCR. Non-diabetic C57BL/6 mice were used to characterise the distribution of GLO1 in neural tissues by immunofluorescence. Behavioural assessments were conducted in diabetic A/J and C57BL/6 mice to determine mechanical sensitivity, and GLO1 abundance was determined by western blot. RESULTS GLO1 immunoreactivity was found throughout the nervous system, but selectively in small, unmyelinated peptidergic dorsal root ganglia (DRG) neurons that are involved in pain transmission. GLO1 protein was present at various levels in DRG from different inbred mice strains. Diabetic A/J and C57BL/6 mice, two mouse strains with different levels of GLO1, displayed dramatically different behavioural responses to mechanical stimuli. Diabetic C57BL/6 mice also had a reduced abundance of GLO1 following diabetes induction. CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION These findings reveal that the abundance of GLO1 varies between different murine strains and within different sensory neuron populations. These differences could lead to different responses of sensory neurons to the toxic effects of hyperglycaemia and reactive dicarbonyls associated with diabetes.

Abstract
Propensity to diabetic nephropathy (DN), retinopathy (DR), and cardiovascular disease (CVD) varies between individuals. Current biomarkers such as indicators of glycemia (HbA1c), retinal examinations, and albuminuria, cannot detect early tissue damage. HbAIc also doesn't reflect most glycative and oxidative chemical pathways that cause complications, and studies of new biomarkers to measure their end-products are needed. This review proposes the study of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) and oxidation end-products (OPs) in long-term diabetes outcome studies. AGEs integrate the activity of glycation pathways that form dicarbonyls, while OPs reflect superoxides, hydroxyl radicals, and peroxides. We discuss using these biomarkers to predict risk of development and progression of DN, DR, and CVD, and to determine if they confer risk independently of the level of HbA1c. We also discuss methods and guidelines to document sample quality in such studies. These studies have the potential to validate unique biomarkers during the early stages of diabetes in those who are at high risk of diabetic complications. Information on basic mechanisms responsible for complications could also stimulate development of therapeutic approaches to delay or arrest them. The ultimate goal is to predict those requiring aggressive therapies during the earliest stages, when prevention or reversal of complications is still possible.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Resveratrol (RSV) has been shown to ameliorate hyperglycaemia and hyperlipidaemia in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. In the present study, we examined the beneficial effects of RSV on diabetes mellitus (DM)-induced vasculopathy and explored its possible mechanism. METHODS Male Sprague-Dawley rats were injected with streptozotocin at 65 mg/kg body weight The induction of DM was confirmed by a fasting plasma glucose level > or = 300 mg/dL and symptoms of polyphagia and polydipsia. The DM rats were treated with or without RSV at 0.75 mg/kg body weight three times a day for 4-8 weeks. Animals were sacrificed and vessel wall histology was examined by microscopy. The vascular smooth muscle cell activation was assessed by the medial thickness, collagen deposition, and the expressions receptor for advanced glycation end product, NF-kappaB, proliferation cell nuclear antigen, and the levels of Erk1/2 phosphorylation. RESULTS In RSV-treated DM rats, the vascular wall thickening, collagen deposition/cross-linking, and vascular permeability were all alleviated compared with that of the untreated DM rats. The vascular smooth muscle cell of the RSV-treated rats was characterized with less proliferation, lower NF-kappaB, and Erk1/2 activation, decreased proliferation cell nuclear antigen and receptor for advanced glycation end product expression. Moreover, the plasma fructosamine was significantly reduced in RSV-treated DM rats. CONCLUSIONS RSV alleviated DM-induced vasculopathy through attenuation of advanced glycation end product-receptor for advanced glycation end product-NF-kappaB signalling pathway.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to determine the role of early and late glycation products in modulating inflammation in early diabetes. MATERIALS Sprague-Dawley rats (130-170 g) were injected with streptozotocin (75 mg/kg, ip) and treated with daily aminoguanidine (AG, 25 mg/kg, ip) or vehicle for 2 or 4 weeks. METHODS The base of a vacuum-induced blister raised on the hind paw was perfused with substance P (SP, 1 microM) and sodium nitroprusside (SNP, 100 microM). Changes in blood flow and plasma extravasation (PE) were measured. Amadori (1 mg/ml), advanced glycation end products (AGEs, 10 mg/ml), and anti-RAGE IgG (antibody against AGE receptors, 100 microg/ml) were individually perfused prior to SP. RESULTS In diabetic rats, responses to SNP and SP were reduced by 60% and 70%, respectively (P<.05). Amadori increased responses to SNP by 50% and 90% and to SP by 70% and 80% in control and diabetic rats, respectively (both P<.05). SP responses were significantly increased after anti-RAGE IgG (70%) or AG treatments (175%) with PE responses normalized. CONCLUSION Amadori and anti-AGE agents enhance peripheral vascular responses in diabetes and may ameliorate microvascular damage.

Abstract
The Maillard reaction, starting from the glycation of protein and progressing to the formation of advanced glycation end-products (AGEs), is implicated in the development of complications of diabetes mellitus, as well as in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular, renal, and neurodegenerative diseases. In this perspective review, we provide an overview on the relevance of the Maillard reaction in the pathogenesis of chronic disease and discuss traditional approaches and recent developments in the analysis of glycated proteins by mass spectrometry. We propose that proteomics approaches, particularly bottom-up proteomics, will play a significant role in analyses of clinical samples leading to the identification of new markers of disease development and progression.

Abstract
Complex chemical processes termed non-enzymic glycation that operate in vivo and similar chemical interactions between sugars and proteins that occur during thermal processing of food (known as the Maillard reaction) are one of the interesting examples of a potentially-harmful interaction between nutrition and disease. Non-enzymic glycation comprises a series of reactions between sugars, alpha-oxoaldehydes and other sugar derivatives and amino groups of amino acids, peptides and proteins leading to the formation of heterogeneous moieties collectively termed advanced glycation end products (AGE). AGE possess a wide range of chemical and biological properties and play a role in diabetes-related pathology as well as in several other diseases. Diabetes is, nevertheless, of particular interest for several reasons: (1) chronic hyperglycaemia provides the substrates for extracellular glycation as well as intracellular glycation; (2) hyperglycaemia-induced oxidative stress accelerates AGE formation in the process of glycoxidation; (3) AGE-modified proteins are subject to rapid intracellular proteolytic degradation releasing free AGE adducts into the circulation where they can bind to several pro-inflammatory receptors, especially receptor of AGE; (4) kidneys, which are principally involved in the excretion of free AGE adducts, might be damaged by diabetic nephropathy, which further enhances AGE toxicity because of diminished AGE clearance. Increased dietary intake of AGE in highly-processed foods may represent an additional exogenous metabolic burden in addition to AGE already present endogenously in subjects with diabetes. Finally, inter-individual genetic and functional variability in genes encoding enzymes and receptors involved in either the formation or the degradation of AGE could have important pathogenic, nutrigenomic and nutrigenetic consequences.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE In type 1 diabetes, plantar fascia, a collagen-rich tissue, is susceptible to glycation and oxidation. Paraoxonase-1 (PON1) is an HDL-bound antioxidant enzyme. PON1 polymorphisms have been associated with susceptibility to macro- and microvascular complications. We investigated the relationship between plantar fascia thickness (PFT) and PON1 gene variants, p.Leu54Met, p.Gln192Arg, and c.-107C>T, in type 1 diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS This was a cross-sectional study of 331 adolescents with type 1 diabetes (162 male and 169 female). PFT was assessed by ultrasound, PON1 was assessed by genotyping with PCR and restriction fragment-length polymorphism, and serum PON1 activity was assessed by rates of hydrolysis of paraoxon and phenylacetate. RESULTS Median (interquartile range) age was 15.4 (13.5-17.3) years, and diabetes duration was 7.6 (4.9-10.6) years. The distribution of p.Leu54Met genotypes was LL 135 (40.8%), ML 149 (45%), and MM 47 (14.2%). PFT was abnormal (>1.7 mm) in 159 adolescents (48%). In multivariate analysis, predictors of abnormal PFT were ML/LL versus MM p.Leu54Met polymorphism (odds ratio 3.84 [95% CI 1.49-9.82], P = 0.005); BMI (percentile) (1.02 [1.01-1.03], P = 0.007); systolic blood pressure (percentile) (1.01 [1.00-1.02], P = 0.03); and male sex (3.29 [1.98-5.46], P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Thickening of the plantar aponeurosis occurs predominantly in overweight and male adolescents with type 1 diabetes. The MM genotype at PON1 p.Leu54Met is associated with a reduced risk of abnormal PFT.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Direct measurement of collagen glycation requires skin biopsy, which is invasive. We hypothesized that measurement of plantar fascia thickness (PFT) by ultrasound is an alternative index of tissue glycation and a marker of microvascular disease. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS This was a prospective longitudinal study of microvascular complications in 344 adolescents with type 1 diabetes, whose PFT was assessed by ultrasound at baseline. Retinopathy was assessed by seven-field fundal photography, albumin excretion rate (AER) measured from three consecutive timed overnight urine specimens, autonomic neuropathy by pupillometry and cardiovascular tests, and peripheral neuropathy by vibration and thermal thresholds. Longitudinal analysis was performed using generalized estimating equations with baseline PFT, duration, and A1C as explanatory variables. RESULTS At first assessment, median (interquartile range) age was 15.1 (13.5-17.2) years and diabetes duration was 8.5 (6.0-11.5) years. Median follow up was 3.2 (2.1-4.5) years with a median of 4 (2-13) complications assessments per patient. In multivariate analysis, baseline PFT (abnormal in 132 subjects, 38%) predicted subsequent development of retinopathy (odds ratio 2.4 [95% CI 1.1-5.0]), elevated AER (2.24 [1.05-5.11]), peripheral neuropathy (2.3 [1.2-4.41]), and autonomic neuropathy (4.94 [2.46-9.91]). Limited joint mobility was present in only 4%. CONCLUSIONS PFT is a significant predictor of the subsequent development of complications in type 1 diabetes, suggesting that glycation and oxidation of collagen in soft tissues may be independent risk factors for microvascular complications.

Abstract
Abstract
Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) may play an important role in the pathogenesis of chronic diabetic complications and in the natural process of biological aging. In fact, maintained hyperglycaemia favours the formation of AGEs at the tissue level in diabetic patients, which may influence the triggering of different chronic pathologies of diabetes such as retinopathy, nephropathy, neuropathy and macro- and micro-vascular diseases. Moreover, the literature has also demonstrated the involvement of AGEs in biological aging, which may explain the accelerated process of aging in diabetic patients. The practice of regular physical activity appears to positively influence glycaemic control, particularly in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients. This occurs through the diminution of fasting glycaemia, with a consequent reduction of glycation of plasmatic components suggested by the normalisation of HbA1c plasmatic levels. This exercise-induced positive effect is evident in the blood of diabetic patients and may also reach the endothelium and connective tissues of different organs, such as the kidneys and eyes, and systems, such as the cardiovascular and nervous systems, with a local reduction of AGEs production and further deceleration of organ dysfunction. The aim of this paper was to review the literature concerning this topic to coherently describe the harmful effects of AGEs in organ dysfunction induced by diabetes in advanced age as well as the mechanisms behind the apparent protection given by the practice of regular physical activity.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease is a major cause of morbidity and premature mortality in diabetes. HDL plays an important role in limiting vascular damage by removing cholesterol and cholesteryl ester hydroperoxides from oxidized low density lipoprotein and foam cells. Methionine (Met) residues in apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I), the major apolipoprotein of HDL, reduce peroxides in HDL lipids, forming methionine sulfoxide [Met(O)]. We examined the extent and sites of Met(O) formation in apoA-I of HDL isolated from plasma of healthy control and type 1 diabetic subjects to assess apoA-I exposure to lipid peroxides and the status of oxidative stress in the vascular compartment in diabetes. Three tryptic peptides of apoA-I contain Met residues: Q(84)-M(86)-K(88), W(108)-M(112)-R(116), and L(144)-M(148)-R(149). These peptides and their Met(O) analogs were identified and quantified by mass spectrometry. Relative to controls, Met(O) formation was significantly increased at all three locations (Met(86), Met(112), and Met(148)) in diabetic patients. The increase in Met(O) in the diabetic group did not correlate with other biomarkers of oxidative stress, such as N(epsilon)-malondialdehyde-lysine or N(epsilon)-(carboxymethyl)lysine, in plasma or lipoproteins. The higher Met(O) content in apoA-I from diabetic patients is consistent with increased levels of lipid peroxidation products in plasma in diabetes. Using the methods developed here, future studies can address the relationship between Met(O) in apoA-I and the risk, development, or progression of the vascular complications of diabetes.
