Abstract:
Chronic diseases (ChDs) today constitute the leading cause of morbidity and mortality. Increasing evidence suggests that the production and development of ChDs are associated with amplified inflammation, which is caused by accumulation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) and advanced lipexidation end products (ALEs).Heating, irradiation, and ionization, in combination with gross over-nutrition, significantly contribute to production of, exposure to and accumulation in the body of AGEs/ALEs. Furthermore, dietary AGEs restriction in animals seemed to be effective to extend life span. This paper elucidates the relationship between food and AGEs and the dietary measures to reduce AGEs/ALEs with an attempt to provide new methods for prevention and treatment of ChDs.
