Therefore, the ribose
glycation of collagen can serve as a value tool to study, (i) altered tissue mechanical properties due to
glycation, (ii) cell behaviour in response to
glycation, (iii) as in-vitro model to study extra cellular matrix changes in age-related bone pathologies.
Interpretation of Hb [A.sub.1c] values is based on the assumption that erythrocytes are freely permeable to glucose and that neither glucose entry, the rate of
glycation, nor erythrocyte life span differs significantly among individuals.
Glycation, thiol group oxidation, and aggregation of BSA were then measured using thiobarbituric acid, 2, 4-dinitrophenylhydrazine, and Congo red colorimetric methods, respectively.

(1) An often overlooked factor in skin aging is the cross-linking of collagen caused by
glycation. (7)
Hyperglycaemia is a key factor in the pathogenesis of diabetic complications by increasing protein
glycation and gradual buildup of advanced glycated end products (AGEs) in body tissues.2 There are receptors for AGEs (RAGEs) found on different cells.
This dimension of A1c-glucose axis becomes even more significant as the people from Asians and specifically from sub-continental region have been suggested to have a more diabetogenic phenotype and varying hemoglobin
glycation rates in comparison to their Caucasian counterparts from where most data has evolved7,8.
Advanced
glycation end products (AGEs) are formed by non-enzymatic
glycation of proteins or lipids by high serum glucose, methylglyoxal, and 3-deoxy glucosone.
