Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) are formed from the nonenzymatic rEAction of amino groups with reducing sugars.1-3 AGEs have been implicated in disEAses, such as diabetes mellitus, non-diabetic nephropathy, macrovascular disEAse, Alzheimers disEAse, cataract, and ageing.1-3 AGE receptors, such as the receptor for AGE (RAGE), mediate biological responses to AGEs, including endocytic uptake and degradation and induction of cytokines and growth factors.1-3 CEL-BSA was produced by incubating BSA with sodium pyruvate and cyanoborohydride.
