- What was measured
- Review of the role of non-enzymatic glycation in ageing and diabetic complications and of dietary carnosine as a potential anti-glycating agent.
What the authors reported
The author proposes that carnivorous diets supply carnosine, a potential anti-glycating agent, whereas vegetarian diets lack it, and discusses possible effects of carnosine and related structures on protein carbonyl stress, AGE formation, secondary diabetic complications and age-related neuropathology.
