Figure 1.
Levels of serum advanced glycation endproducts (AGEs), carboxymethyl-lysine (sCML) and methylglyoxal (sMG) derivatives are elevated in older men and women. Fasting blood was obtained in older (60–80 years old [y.o.]) and younger (18–45 y.o.) healthy participants for measurement of CML and MG derivatives, by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, as described. Data, representing the average of triplicate values, are shown as mean ± standard error of the mean, *p < .05.
