Abstract excerpt
Dicarbonyls glyoxal (GO) and methylglyoxal (MGO) produced during the autoxidation of reducing sugars are a source of macromolecular damage in cells. Since an accumulation of damaged macromolecules is a universal characteristic of aging, we have tested whether GO and MGO which cause oxidative damage to proteins and other macromolecules can bring about accelerated aging in normal human skin fibroblasts in vitro. A...
