Once in the bloodstream, sugar bonds with protein and creates advancedglycationendproducts (aptly abbreviated AGEs), which cause collagen to become inflamed and stiff, leading to wrinkles.
Objective To investigate the effects of advancedglycationendproducts (AGE) on secretion of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1(MCP-1) by human endothelial cells and its signal transduction pathway.
