Oxidative stress, resulting from the excessive intracellular accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), reactive nitrogen species (RNS), and other free radical species, contributes to the onset and progression of various diseases, including diabetes, obesity, diabetic nephropathy, diabetic neuropathy, and neurological diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease (AD), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and Parkinson's disease (PD). Oxidative stress is also implicated in cardiovascular disease and cancer. Exacerbated oxidative stress leads to the accelerated formation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs), a complex mixture of crosslinked proteins and protein modifications. Relatively high levels of AGEs are generated in diabetes, obesity, AD, and other …

Nonenzymatic Reactions of Reducing Sugars with Primary Amino Groups of Amino Acids, Proteins, and Nucleic Acids, Followed by Oxidative Degradations Would Lead to the Formation of Advanced Glycation Endproducts (AGEs). the AGEs Exert Multifactorial Effects on Cell Damage Leading to the Onset of Neurological Disorders. the Interaction of AGEs with the Receptors for Advanced Glycation Endproducts (RAGE) Contribute to the Activation of Intracellular Signaling and the Expression of the Pro-Inflammatory Transcription Factors and Various Inflammatory Cytokines. This Inflammatory Signaling Cascade is Associated with Various Neurological Diseases, Including Alzheimer's Disease (AD), Secondary Effects of Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis …
