Nucleoside glycation and oxidation adducts in plasma (a) and urine (b) of healthy human subjects. Data are median (upper–lower quartile), n = 28. Characteristics of human subjects: age 61 ± 8 years, gender—male, body mass index 26.1 ± 1.8 kg/m2, fasting plasma glucose 5.6 ± 0.5 mM and glomerular filtrate rate 94 ± 33 ml/min/1.73 m2. Nucleoside adducts were determined as described in the ‘Materials and Methods’ section. *P < 0.05 and ***P < 0.001 with respect to GdG; oooP < 0.001 with respect to CEdG; and +++P < 0.001 with respect to MGdG (Wilcoxon signed rank test).
