Abstract excerpt
Advanced glycation endproducts (AGEs) form at an accelerated rate in diabetes and contribute to the development of macrovascular disease. Their precursors are detoxified by the glyoxalase system. Perturbations of the glyoxalase-1 gene may alter AGEs' interactions and affect pro-thrombotic factors. We screened the glyoxalase-1 gene for mutations and measured pro-thrombotic markers in 537 subjects from 89 healthy...
