title: [Advanced glycation end products (AGEs), free radicals and diabetes].
abstract: Nonenzymatic glycation, i.e. binding of monosaccharides to amino groups of proteins, gives rise to complex components called "advanced glycation end-products" (AGEs), which alter protein structure and functions, and participate in diabetic long-term complications. Glycation and oxidative stress are closely linked, and are often referred to as "glycoxidation" processes. Experimental data support these interactions. a) All glycation steps generate oxygen free radicals, some of these steps being common with these of lipid peroxidation. b) AGEs bind to membrane receptors such as RAGE, and induce an oxidative stress and a pro-inflammatory status. c) Glycated proteins modulate cellular oxidative functions: glycated collagens induce an inappropriate oxidative response in PMNs. d) Products of lipid peroxidation (MDA) bind to proteins and amplify glycoxidation-induced damages. Glycoxydation intensity increases in diabetes mellitus, ageing, renal failure and other pathological states with oxidative stress. Therapies aiming at limiting glycoxidation take into account its oxidative part.
