Characteristics
Biological activity
CMLCMLOne of the most common AGEs; formed via glycoxidation or lipid peroxidationRAGE agonist; promotes inflammation and fibrosis
CELCELStructurally similar to CML; derived from pyruvate and other metabolic intermediatesAssociated with insulin resistance
PentosidineCrosslink product of reducing sugars with lysine or arginineSignature structure of AGE crosslinksStrongly associated with bone fragility and arterial stiffness
MG-H1MG-H1Key biomarker of diabetes-related AGEPromotes apoptosis and mitochondrial dysfunction
