In diabetes mellitus (DM), there is increased formation and accumulation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs), which represent a heterogeneous class of molecules produced by non-enzymatic glycation of various molecules during long-term hyperglycaemia. Several studies have examined the role of AGEs in DM complications. Accumulating evidence suggests that AGEs affect bone metabolism. New knowledge indicates that they may play a role in bone disease among DM subjects. More data are now needed to clarify their role and to explore new AGEs-based therapeutic options for optimal bone health in DM.
在糖尿病(DM)中,存在高级糖基化终产物(AGEs)的形成和积累增加,AGEs 是由长期高血糖导致各种分子的非酶糖基化产生的一类异质分子。有几项研究探讨了 AGEs 在 DM 并发症中的作用。越来越多的证据表明,AGEs 影响骨代谢。新知识表明,它们可能在 DM 患者的骨骼疾病中发挥作用。现在需要更多的数据来阐明它们的作用,并探索新的基于 AGEs 的治疗选择,以实现 DM 患者的骨骼健康。
