Also, the term glycation is a misnomer, because a lot of the protein damage blamed on sugar actually comes from lipids. ❋ Unknown (2008)
A critical enzyme involved in protection against glycation is "Glyoxalase 1." ❋ Unknown (2007)
There's something called glycation, which is part of the new book. ❋ Unknown (2007)
Add potential toxicity and an evil accelerated aging process called glycation to the list of potential bad things that artificial sweeteners do. ❋ JJ Virgin (2010)
These compounds are formed as the result of the addition of sugar to protein, a process called glycation, in the absence of water. ❋ Mark L. Fuerst (2010)
When the body has too much circulating sugar—which is almost always a result of eating too many rapidly absorbed sugars from overly refined carbohydrates—the resulting excess glucose molecules will eventually start sticking to proteins, in a process called glycation. ❋ Woodson Merrell (2008)
In addition, another aging process caused by sugar, called glycation, results in an ugly type of protein breakdown occurring in the skin and throughout the body. ❋ Kat James (2007)
In a process called glycation, sugar attacks collagen and elastin, both key proteins that make your skin look young. ❋ Jackie Warner (2012)
In laboratory tests, the researchers found that many of the spices and extracts appeared to inhibit a process known as glycation, which has been linked to inflammation and tissue damage in diabetics. ❋ Unknown (2008)
This suggests the green tea component can protect diabetics and those with pre-diabetic conditions from serious complications. experiments, the scientists found that EGCG appears to play a role in controlling low-density lipoprotein (LDL or the "bad" cholesterol) and, perhaps most importantly, it protects from a reaction called glycation that can produce an array of results in rogue molecules known as advanced glycation end products that can produce health risks by impairing the function of various biomolecules. ❋ Unknown (2010)
And those old glycosaminoglycans can link up with proteins and cause yellowing (or browning) of your skin (that’s called glycation, and though it happens to all of us, it’s especially visible in diabetics). ❋ Michael F. Roizen (2008)
Dermal Renu addresses all of those, but it also focuses on "glycation," which he said is rapidly being identified as a critical component of aging skin. ❋ Unknown (2009)
With the hypotheses that insulin plays a strong role in growth and survival of neurons and that elevated blood glucose levels cause damage by forming advanced glycation end products, the overall impact on neuronal and cognitive functioning is dramatically significant. ❋ M.D. Julie Chen (2011)
Studying diabetes has helped me to understand the effects of irregularities in blood sugar and their role in the production of free radicals, leading to glycation and inflammation. ❋ M.D. Nicholas Perricone (2010)
You can do this by applying the dietary and nutritional strategies presented in these pages to minimize the triple threat of inflammation, glycation, and oxidative stress. ❋ M.D. Nicholas Perricone (2010)
