Abstrakt: Recent experimental findings suggest that free oxygen radicals and AGEs may be significantly involved in the onset and development of chronic diabetic complications and Alzheimer's disease. The presented review summarizes knowledge on structure and rise of these products in vitro and in vivo and the chemical and biological properties of advanced glycation endproducts are discussed. Strategy of influencing development and prevention of diabetic complications in the near future involves a potentially promising antiglycation therapy and supplementation by antioxidants.
