Abstract

Accumulation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) on nucleotides, lipids, and peptides/proteins are an inevitable component of the aging process in all eukaryotic organisms, including humans. To date, a substantial body of evidence shows that AGEs and their functionally compromised adducts are linked to and perhaps responsible for changes seen during aging and for the development of many age-related morbidities. However, much remains to be learned about the biology of AGE formation, causal nature of these associations, and whether new interventions might be developed that will prevent or reduce the negative impact of AGEs-related damage. To facilitate achieving these latter ends, we show how invertebrate models, notably Drosophila melanogaster and Caenorhabditis elegans, can be used to explore AGE-related pathways in depth and to identify and assess drugs that will mitigate against the detrimental effects of AGE-adduct development.

  • AGEs, including glycoxidation products, play a fundamental role in human aging and in aging of vertebrate and invertebrate model organisms.

    “The fundamental role of AGEs, including glycoxidation products, in human aging, but also in aging of vertebrate and invertebrate model organism has been reviewed in 2018 by Chaudhuri and colleagues [153]”

    From Protein oxidation - Formation mechanisms, detection and relevance as biomarkers in human diseases (2021) · cites this paper as [153]

    The Abstract describes AGE accumulation as an inevitable component of aging in humans and other eukaryotes, and the model-organism section reviews vertebrate and invertebrate studies. But the Abstract says AGEs are linked to, and only perhaps responsible for, aging-related changes; the Conclusions say their causal effects remain poorly understood. Calling their role in aging “fundamental” states that role more firmly than the review does. (LLM, conf=0.84)

  • Levels of glycoxidation products increase as a function of age in several tissues, dependent on dietary intake and hyperglycemic conditions.

    “a growing body of evidence reveals that levels of glycoxidation products increase as a function of age in several tissues, dependent on the dietary intake and the presence of hyperglycemic conditions [152,153]”
  • AGEs are relevant as biomarkers of aging and age-related diseases.

    “together indicating the relevance of AGEs as biomarkers of aging and age-related diseases”
  • Under pathological conditions, RAGEs can be upregulated and participate in various aging-related pathophysiologies.

    “However, under pathological conditions, RAGEs can be upregulated and participate in various aging-related pathophysiologies, such as adult-onset type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM), cardiovascular disorders, myocardial infarction, chronic kidney failure, pancreatitis, cancer, Alzheimer’s disease (AD), Parkinson’s disease (PD), hepatic fibrosis, and alcohol-mediated tissue injury37,38.”
  • RAGEs are expressed widely in various cells and organs.

    “Generally, RAGEs are expressed widely in various cells, such as endothelial cells, macrophages/monocytes, neutrophils, lymphocytes, microglia, astrocytes, and neurons, and organs, such as the brain, heart, lung, kidney, and liver36,37.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
