The body pool of AGEs. Hyperglycemia, inflammation, and chronic kidney disease are major contributors to the body’s pool of AGEs. Furthermore, dietary sources of AGEs and tobacco add to the AGE pool, while detoxification systems include kidney function and the role played by soluble AGERs and DDOST that neutralize deleterious AGER signaling, along with enzyme systems, including the glyoxalase system, aldose reductase, and the lesser-known amadoriases.
