Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) are proteins, lipids or nucleic acids which have been non-enzymatically glycated. AGEs tend to accumulate within the body over time and are known to promote inflammation, reduce tissues elasticity, contribute to the acceleration of the aging process, and are associated with many disease states such as diabetes, atherosclerosis, and Alzheimer's. BioInnovation Laboratories offers many testing models to screen materials for their ability to either prevent the formation of AGEs or to reduce AGEs content after they have been formed.
Prevention of AGEs Formation or Removal of Existing AGEs In Specific Target Proteins
- Collagen
- Fibronectin
- Bovine Serum Albumin
Detection of Specific AGEs Types
- Carboxymethyl Lysine
- Methyl Glyoxal
- N-Epsilon-(Carboxyethyl)-Lysine
Please note that only the typical targets are listed. If there other types of specific AGE markers that your company has an interest in please let us know and we can accommodate you. Please contact us for specific pricing and study timing.
