Why the study?
Are elevated serum carboxymethyl-lysine (advanced glycation end products) levels associated with increased aortic pulse wave velocity in relatively healthy community-dwelling adults?
Are elevated serum carboxymethyl-lysine (advanced glycation end products) levels associated with increased aortic pulse wave velocity in relatively healthy community-dwelling adults?
Elevated advanced glycation end products are associated with increased arterial stiffness in healthy adults, suggesting a potential target for dietary intervention to lower cardiovascular risk.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May link elevated AGEs to arterial stiffness in healthy adults; leaves open causal role and effects of AGE-targeted interventions.
Semba et al. (2008) studied this question.
