Table 3 Classification and representative structures of advanced glycation end-products
| AGE type | Chemical name | Characteristics | Biological activity |
| CML | CML | One of the most common AGEs; formed via glycoxidation or lipid peroxidation | RAGE agonist; promotes inflammation and fibrosis |
| CEL | CEL | Structurally similar to CML; derived from pyruvate and other metabolic intermediates | Associated with insulin resistance |
| Pentosidine | Crosslink product of reducing sugars with lysine or arginine | Signature structure of AGE crosslinks | Strongly associated with bone fragility and arterial stiffness |
| MG-H1 | MG-H1 | Key biomarker of diabetes-related AGE | Promotes apoptosis and mitochondrial dysfunction |
