Abstract
22
In the last 20 years, the effects of advanced glycation endproducts (AGEs) on health
23
have received increasing attention. High AGE levels in the body correlate with the
24
progression of many diseases, such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and some
25
cancers. However, whether AGEs are a cause of these diseases or represent
26
accompanying symptoms of these diseases still needs to be elucidated by more
27
comprehensive research. Recently, many researchers have begun to investigate the
28
effects of AGE intake-induced variations of gut microbiota on disease progression,
29
which will further explain the impact of AGEs on health and open a new chapter in
30
AGE research.

INTRODUCTION
33
In 1912, French chemist Louis-Camille Maillard found in his study of food that
34
reducing sugar molecules reacted chemically with the lysine side chains and
35
N-terminal amine groups on proteins and amino acids, leading to browning [1]; this
36
chemical reaction is the origin of the reaction known as the “Maillard reaction”. In
37
today's dietary patterns, the characteristics of most foods (especially heat-processed
38
foods), such as aroma and color, are closely related to Maillard reaction products
39
because Maillard reaction substrates exist widely in foods. Common dietary
40
components, such as biscuits, bread, tea, coffee, fried and barbecued food, and fast
41
food products, are quite typical Maillard reaction-related foods.
42
Early studies of the Maillard reaction focused primarily on the reduced
43
nutritional value of proteins and amino acids due to sugar modification and the
44
chemistry of Maillard flavor generation. As glycated hemoglobin is found in the blood
45
of diabetic patients [2], the effects of the Maillard reaction on the organism began to
46
receive attention. The endproducts of the Maillard reaction in organisms are the
47
so-called advanced glycation endproducts (AGEs). However, disagreements exist
48
regarding the types of compounds covered by AGEs. Generally, AGEs do not cover
49
all Maillard reaction products [3]. Compounds discussed in most of the AGE studies
50
are mainly substances produced from Amadori products via rearrangement and a
51
series of chemical reactions, and products from interaction reactions between the
52
degradation and fragmentation products of reducing sugars (such as glucose and
53
fructose) and free lysine/arginine or protein lysine/arginine residues [4]. Of these
54
compounds, N-ɛ-carboxymethyllysine (CML) was the first AGE discovered [5] and is
55
also a well-studied AGE marker. Therefore, many studies use CML as the AGE
56
marker. However, different AGEs not only have different chemical characteristics but 3
ACS Paragon Plus Environment
Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry
57
also have different physiological effects (such as the ability to induce macrophage
58
endocytosis) [6].
59
Given that AGEs and their protein adducts accumulate in various lesions,
60
investigations of the relationship between AGEs and diseases have recently gained
61
attention, and this research boom culminated in the discovery of the receptor for
62
AGEs (RAGE). Numerous studies suggest that RAGE acts as a bridge between AGEs
63
and diseases. AGE protein adducts can generate large amounts of reactive oxygen
64
species (ROS) by activating RAGE on cells. This AGE-RAGE-ROS loop leads to the
65
activation of inflammatory cells and the release of RAGE ligands with different
66
physiological effects, such as S100 proteins or HMGB1, to change immune
67
homeostasis, resulting in tissue damage and lesion formation [7]. This AGE-RAGE
68
axis is even related to the development of cancer [8]. In addition, AGE protein
69
adducts also stimulate the activation of different cellular signaling pathways through
70
RAGE, affecting cell physiology [9,10]. AGEs also cause cross-linking, leading to
71
stiffness in tissues, such as tendons, intervertebral discs, skin, arteries, and vaginal
72
tissues [11].
73
As the pathological role of AGEs is clarified, scholars have begun to explore
74
whether prolonged ingestion of large amounts of dietary AGEs promotes the onset of
75
diseases or disease deterioration. A recent book edited by Jaime Uribarri details the
76
role of dietary AGEs in disease and health over the past two decades [12]. Although
77
there is no standardized analytical method for AGEs, the consumption of foods rich in
78
AGEs can indeed increase the content of AGEs in vivo [13,14] and change in vivo
79
redox and immune homeostasis to affect disease development [12]. Dietary exposure
80
to AGEs in humans has been reported to be approximately 100-300 µmol/day or
81
16,000 AGE kU/day [4]. However, increases in AGEs in vivo are not necessarily 4
ACS Paragon Plus Environment
Page 4 of 25
Page 5 of 25
Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry
82
directly derived from AGEs in the diet, but may result from the intestinal digestion of
83
food [15,16]. Given that AGE-induced oxidative stress and chronic inflammation are
84
involved in many disease processes, the physiological mechanisms that reduce AGE
85
production, inhibit AGE function, or clear AGEs, as well as dietary factors [17,18]
86
and pharmacological drugs [19] with these biochemical features, have been
87
investigated intensively in the last decade. Most of these substances have multiple
88
biochemical properties, such as anti-glycation and anti-oxidation, which increase the
89
difficulty in clarifying the major mechanisms by which these substances affect AGEs
90
and impact their applicability.
91
In the following sections, AGE chemistry, analysis and experimental models will
92
be introduced. Furthermore, current knowledge on the homeostasis of AGEs in the
93
body and the effects of AGEs on human health will be elaborated.
94 95
FUNDAMENTAL KNOWLEDGE OF AGEs
96
AGE Chemistry
97
The entire process wherein glycosamine condensates and forms melanoidins
98
after a series of complex chemical reactions is known as the Maillard reaction [3].
99
Amadori products generated during the initial reaction are rearranged and chemically
100
modified via oxidization or non-oxidization reactions to produce AGEs (Figure 1A)
101
[4,18]. In addition, reducing sugars participating in the Maillard reaction and the early
102
and mid-Maillard reaction products undergo autoxidation and/or lysis and degradation
103
to produce the highly reactive precursors of AGEs. Among them, the most widely
104
investigated are dicarbonyls, including glyoxal (GO), methylglyoxal (MG), and
105
3-deoxyglucosone (3-DG). These precursors react with amino group-bearing
106
substances (mainly lysine and arginine groups) to produce AGEs (Figure 1A) [4,17]. 5
ACS Paragon Plus Environment
Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry
107
However, AGE precursors, such as dicarbonyls, are not only produced by the Maillard
108
reaction. Other biochemical reactions, such as lipid oxidation, protein degradation,
109
and glycolysis, also represent sources of AGE precursors in foods or organisms [8].
110
Therefore, AGEs are not derived exclusively from the Maillard reaction. The main
111
synthesis pathways of AGEs in vivo and in food, as well as AGE precursors and
112
common AGE types, are summarized in Figure 1.
113 114
AGE Analysis
115
AGE analysis mainly consists of two categories. One is analyte preparation, i.e.,
116
the isolation of AGEs from samples through steps of extraction, hydrolysis, and
117
purification. According to the different extraction methods, free AGEs and
118
protein/peptide-bound AGEs can be obtained [20]. The second category is
119
measurement of the AGE samples by immunochemical or instrumental methods.
120
Analyte preparation for these two methods is totally different. In general, analyte
121
preparation is less complicated for immunochemical methods than for instrumental
122
analysis.
123
The most common method for AGE immunochemical analysis is enzyme-linked
124
immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Previously, various types of polyclonal/monoclonal
125
antibodies to a protein-bound AGE epitope(s) were published for application in
126
ELISA, of which the protein-bound AGEs commonly used for antibody generation
127
include AGE-bovine serum albumin (BSA), AGE-keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH),
128
AGE-collagen, and AGE-ribonuclease (RNase) [21]. In the AGE ELISA, commonly
129
used antibodies include the 6D12 [22] and 4G9 (6C7) monoclonal antibodies [12,15]
130
that specifically react with CML protein adducts, and the 3D11 mAb monoclonal
131
antibody [12] that specifically reacts with MG-modified protein. To date, 6
ACS Paragon Plus Environment
Page 6 of 25
Page 7 of 25
Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry
132
approximately 300 types of AGE ELISA commercial kits are available that are
133
suitable for the detection of protein/peptide-bound AGE accumulation in humans,
134
mice, rats, rabbits, guinea pigs, and other species. Despite the simplicity and speed of
135
ELISA analysis, the actual concentration of AGEs in the test samples cannot be
136
measured by ELISA (ELISA results are typically represented in arbitrary units), and
137
numerous doubts exist about the accuracy of using ELISA to detect AGEs in food.
138
Given that the matrix of food is complex, the validity of the antibodies used in ELISA
139
must be confirmed in different food matrices before AGE measurements. However,
140
most of the AGEs ELISA kits do not perform the test to confirm the validity of
141
antibodies. Therefore, the values of some food AGE content databases established
142
using ELISA are still being questioned by many scholars in the AGE field [4,18].
143
However, recent studies have confirmed the consistency of the results of
144
immunochemical and instrumental analyses of dietary AGEs [23].
145
The objective of the instrumental analysis is to separate the target by
146
chromatography
and
further
determine
the
target
147
light/ultraviolet/fluorescence detector or mass analyzer [20]. Key factors influencing
148
the instrumental analysis of AGE results include sample pretreatment steps (including
149
the type of extraction solution used; inorganic salts/organic salts, pH, etc.), hydrolysis
150
methods (acid/base or enzyme), reaction temperature, reaction time, environmental
151
gas (aerobic/anaerobic), and shaking intensity during the reaction. All of these factors
152
affect the result of subsequent analysis and detection. AGEs with different chemical
153
structures have different sensitivities to acid, alkali, temperature, and enzyme
154
reactions. Therefore, when analyzing AGEs with different characteristics, each type of
155
AGE must have an internal standard to calibrate the effect of sample pre-treatment on
156
the analysis results to obtain objective and accurate results. However, at present, no 7
ACS Paragon Plus Environment
using
a
visible

157
standard procedure is available for sample pretreatment for the analysis of AGEs in
158
vivo and in food. As a result, it is difficult to discuss and compare the AGE values
159
listed in many studies, despite the use of similar AGE analysis methods.
160
In recent years, the rapid determination of in vivo AGEs using AGE fluorescence
161
has attracted considerable attention due to the correlation between the accumulation
162
of AGEs in vivo and the degree of aging as well as many chronic metabolic diseases
163
[24]. Related technologies have been used in the development of medical testing
164
equipment, such as AGE Reader (Diagnoptics Technologies BV), which can be used
165
for risk assessment of aging and cardiovascular disease- and diabetes-related diseases.
166 167
Common Experimental Models in AGE Studies
168
Common AGE research can be divided into two categories. One category
169
involves the analysis of AGEs in food [20] and the assessment of factors and
170
mechanisms that affect AGE production in food [18], the bioavailability of AGEs in
171
the diet, and the effects of AGE intake on health [4]. The other category involves
172
analyzing AGEs in vivo [5,11,21,22], exploring the possible pathogenesis of AGEs in
173
vivo [6-10] and in vivo AGE generation, metabolism, and clearance mechanisms
174
[4,10,12], and investigating the association of AGEs with disease progression [4,10,12]
175
and methods to reduce the physiological impacts of AGEs [17,19]. Among the above
176
types of studies on AGEs, the largest number of studies focus on the physiological
177
effects of AGEs in vivo and related inhibition methods [8,10,12], of which the most
178
common research model involves investigating the biochemical characteristics of
179
AGE-BSA and the inhibition of the physiological effects of AGE-BSA.
180
Albumin is the most abundant protein in the blood, with a half-life of
181
approximately 21 days, and is therefore the most prominent target for glycation in the 8

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry
182
circulatory system [25]. Glycated albumin can be phagocytosed by macrophages and
183
neutralized by free RAGE, thus reducing cell and tissue stimulation. However, if the
184
glycated albumin content is too high in the body, it may affect the immune balance
185
and burst oxidative stress, resulting in tissue inflammatory damage. This phenomenon
186
is common in people with diabetes. Therefore, glycated albumin is an important
187
pathogenic factor in many diabetic complications, as it can affect most of the cells and
188
tissues in the body through the circulatory system. Due to the above reasons, many
189
studies have been designed with the main axis of AGE-BSA biochemical
190
characteristics, and these types of studies have also become the most common
191
experimental model in AGE studies. Related studies have included an analysis of the
192
biochemical characteristics of BSA modified by different glycation agents
193
(RAGE-binding ability, amount of different AGE residues, fluorescence intensity, and
194
browning degree), effects of AGE-BSA on the physiological properties of different
195
cells and tissues, blockade of AGE-BSA-induced responses, and means for
196
elimination of AGE-BSA (including inactivation of AGE precursors). However, due
197
to the different methods of AGE-BSA preparation in different laboratories, it is
198
difficult to systematically discuss and compare relevant studies. In addition, most
199
studies do not provide AGE-BSA chemical analysis results, and the experimental
200
analysis data regarding the presence of free AGEs or microbial contaminants, such as
201
lipopolysaccharides (LPS), greatly reduce the reference value of AGE-BSA studies.
202
Of note, in recent years, the effects of high glycation stress caused by the specific
203
metabolic mode of cancer cells and AGE
accumulation in the
204
microenvironment on the development of cancer have received considerable attention
205
[8]. Of these studies, the most basic physiological studies on cancer cells explored the
206
effects of AGE-BSA or AGE precursors. Numerous studies have used both high and 9
ACS Paragon Plus Environment
tumor
Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry
207
low heat-processed foods to design high or low AGE diets and to explore the
208
association of AGEs in the diet with disease development [4,12]. Given that the
209
source of food-derived AGEs in the body is digested food, it is not useful to link the
210
AGE content of the food to the physiological effects caused by ingestion of the food.
211
In addition, heat processing not only produces AGEs but also produces numerous
212
highly reactive substances, such as heterocyclic amines (HCAs). Therefore, the results
213
of the relevant research cannot be entirely attributed to the role of AGEs in food.
214 215
AGE HOMOEOSTASIS
216
Source of Body AGEs
217
AGE accumulation in the body can be derived from two main sources: the
218
glycation of proteins in the body and dietary uptake. Key factors affecting protein
219
glycation in vivo include oxidative stress and the types of glycation agents and
220
proteins. Glycation agents include glucose, fructose, and dicarbonyl/carbonyl
221
compounds with higher activities, of which the former has less reactivity compared
222
with the latter. Most scholars agree that dicarbonyl/carbonyl compounds are the main
223
precursors of AGEs. These highly active AGE precursors may result from protein
224
degradation, glycolysis, lipid oxidation, glucose autoxidation, and other free-radical
225
induced molecular lysis reactions (Figure 1A). Oxidative stress promotes the
226
production of highly reactive glycation agents, such as MG and GO, to further
227
enhance the rate of protein glycation in the body [17-19]. Oxidative stress is thus
228
often considered an important promoter of the accumulation of large amounts of
229
glycated proteins in the body. In addition, free AGEs in the diet can enter the
230
circulatory system directly from the intestine through simple diffusion, whereas
231
peptide-bound AGEs can enter the body via transporter proteins [26]. Glycation may 10
ACS Paragon Plus Environment
Page 10 of 25
Page 11 of 25
Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry
232
lead proteins to be resistant to digestive enzymes. This not only affects the nutritional
233
value of the protein but may cause changes in intestinal microbiota due to glycated
234
protein with high molecular weight that is difficult to digest and absorb, thus
235
accumulating in the stool [3,15,26].
236 237
Mechanisms Involved in Circulating AGE Homeostasis
238
As shown in Figure 2, the amount of AGEs observed in the body is the
239
consequence of a dynamic equilibrium among various reactions. Most of the
240
low-molecular-weight food-derived AGEs are excreted via the kidneys, whereas
241
food-derived AGEs with high molecular weight that cannot be metabolized and
242
absorbed into the body are excreted in stool [3,4,13,14,16]. In addition,
243
monosaccharides (especially fructose and glucose) and fatty acids derived from foods
244
are important sources of glycation compounds in the body. Many monosaccharides
245
are glycation compounds, and many biochemical reactions involving fatty acids and
246
monosaccharides, including cell metabolism, glucose autoxidation, and lipid
247
peroxidation can produce glycation compounds. These glycation compounds can react
248
with plasma proteins and tissue proteins to generate plasma and tissue AGEs, which
249
are important sources of AGEs in the circulation system. However, most of these
250
AGEs can be removed by the urinary system [3,4,13,14,16] or via endocytosis of
251
hepatocytes and macrophages [4, 27]. The rest of the circulating AGEs in the body
252
may accumulate in the organs and tissues (mainly the liver, kidney, and bladder).
253
Given the limited metabolic capacity of organisms, the amount of AGEs that
254
accumulate in organs and tissues increases with increasing age. Of note, dietary
255
patterns, digestive system status, and intestinal bacteria are important factors that
256
influence the content of food-derived AGEs and glycation compounds in the body 11
ACS Paragon Plus Environment
Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry
257
[3,15,16,18,26]. The interactions between these factors are complex, and more studies
258
are needed to help clarify the relationship between dietary AGEs and disease.
259 260
AGEs: A THREAT OR BENEFIT TO HUMAN HEALTH?
261
The Physiological Role of AGEs
262
The physiological effects of AGEs can be simply divided into two categories. (1)
263
AGEs promote protein cross-linking and can act as bridging molecules of different
264
peptide chains in proteins to promote protein aggregation or tissue stiffness, causing
265
proteins and tissues to lose their original function. This aspect of the physiological
266
role of AGEs is often discussed in cardiovascular disease associated with diabetes and
267
chronic kidney disease, aging, skin diseases, and neurodegenerative diseases. (2)
268
Protein-bound AGEs can activate cell membrane receptors, such as RAGE,
269
oligosaccharyl transferase complex protein 48 (OST-48, generally known as AGER1),
270
80 KH protein (AGER2), and galectin-3 (AGER3), to directly promote ROS
271
generation and affect cell physiology. Given the positive correlation between RAGE
272
activation and numerous diseases, there is a wealth of research regarding the
273
interaction of AGEs with RAGE and its role in disease [7-9]. However, not all AGE
274
protein adducts can bind to RAGE and activate specific cellular pathways [28]. Only
275
CML or N-ɛ-carboxyethyllysine (CEL) protein adducts bind to RAGE and cause the
276
activation of specific cellular signaling pathways [29].
277 278
Effects of AGEs on Human Health
279
As shown in Figure 3, through the physiological functions described above, in
280
vivo AGEs enhance oxidative stress, affect immune balance, promote chronic
281
inflammation, cause tissue damage, change the functional properties of tissue proteins, 12
ACS Paragon Plus Environment
Page 12 of 25
Page 13 of 25
Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry
282
promote protein aggregation, and further induce the occurrence of numerous diseases
283
or accelerate disease progression [7-12,30]. However, the differences in physiological
284
effects induced by free AGEs and protein-bound AGEs have not yet been completely
285
elucidated. The relationship of AGE structures and their bioactivities, the number of
286
AGE residues, and the structures of glycated proteins with the biological activity of
287
AGE protein adducts has not been clarified. Therefore, to clearly understand the
288
effects of in vivo AGEs on disease and health, more research is needed to establish the
289
relationship of AGE physicochemical properties with AGE disease bioactivity.
290
Melanoidins, a group of Maillard reaction products, may involve AGEs and AGE
291
protein adducts [3,4]. Numerous studies confirm that melanoidins in food may have
292
potential beneficial effects on health because melanoidins have potential tumor
293
growth inhibition and anti-mutation, antioxidative and intestinal microflora regulatory
294
effects [31]. However, most studies do not clarify the impact of molecular weight,
295
molecular structure or AGE residue content in the mode of action of melanoidins.
296
Therefore, these studies will not be helpful to clarify the physiological characteristics
297
of AGEs. The integration of the above discussion leads to the inference that AGEs
298
have the potential to endanger health, but this needs to be verified in more detailed
299
studies.
300 301
FUTURE PERSPECTIVES
302
Numerous studies have demonstrated the association of in vivo AGE protein adducts
303
with disease and health. Despite the potential of AGEs to highly endanger health and
304
advance the disease process, numerous controversies exist regarding the physiological
305
impact of AGEs because the relationship between the physicochemical properties and
306
biological activities of AGEs remains unclear. Furthermore, most AGE study designs 13
ACS Paragon Plus Environment
Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry
307
did not explore or compare the biochemical and structural characteristics of free
308
AGEs and AGE protein adducts and their contribution to the metabolic uptake and
309
physiological effects of AGEs. Instead, these studies exclusively focused on
310
evaluating the effects of carbohydrate-modified protein (such as AGE-BSA,
311
AGE-HSA, AGE-casein, and fructose-modified egg whites) or Maillard reaction
312
product-rich food (such as bread crust and heat-processed foods) on diseases via in
313
vivo and in vitro experiments. Given that related studies have not fully elucidated the
314
physiological roles of AGEs, designing a better experimental platform to explore the
315
relationship between AGEs and diseases is a direction that scholars in relevant fields
316
should focus on. Different scholars also have different opinions on the types of
317
compounds covered by AGEs. Therefore, the conclusions drawn by different studies
318
are not necessarily based on the same substance. In the future, scholars in
319
AGE-related fields should unify the definition of AGEs and establish a standard
320
experimental platform to evaluate the physicochemical properties and biological
321
activities of AGEs to break through the bottleneck of AGE research at this stage and
322
clarify the physiological role of AGEs. Regarding the design of relevant experimental
323
platforms, standard AGE preparation, precise AGE analysis, digestion and intestinal
324
microbial effects, and adjusting nutrition loss and concerning effects of non-AGE
325
products derived from heat processing in test samples should be considered. Of note,
326
many scholars have recently started to explore the interaction among dietary AGEs,
327
microbiota, immuno-modulation, circulating AGEs, and the extent of disease, which
328
will further explain the impact of AGEs on health and open a new chapter in AGE
329
research.
