Summary: Chemical investigation of the roots of Euphorbia pekinensis Rupr. led to the isolation of five undescribed labdane diterpenoids and two undescribed pimarane diterpenoids, along with nine known diterpenoids. Among these compounds, jolkinol B exhibited strong cytotoxic activity against U-937 and LOVO cancer cell lines.

Summary: This review examines the antiglycation effect and mechanism of tea and tea polyphenols. The findings suggest that tea polyphenols, particularly catechins, have a significant antiglycation effect by trapping alpha-dicarbonyl compounds and impeding the formation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs). Additionally, tea polyphenols alleviate aging, diabetes, and collagen-related diseases or complications through the regulation of receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) expression and subsequent MAPK and TGF-beta pathways.

Summary: Cranberry juice polyphenols (CJPs) and their fractions show significant inhibition of collagen glycation and breakage of AGE-induced collagen crosslinking. The ethyl acetate fraction and 60% methanol fraction exhibit the strongest anti-glycation effects, while the methanol fraction and acetone fraction are most effective in breaking AGE-induced collagen crosslinks.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate whether diabetic retinopathy and accumulation of advanced glycation end-products can help identify high-risk cardiovascular events in patients with type 2 diabetes, and found that these factors were independent predictors of cardiovascular events. It is suggested that using these factors to screen patients for cardiovascular disease could lead to more personalized and cost-effective medicine.

Summary: Diabetic retinopathy is a tissue-specific neurovascular impairment in diabetic patients that affects the retina. Advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) are a major pathological factor causing neurovascular coupling impairments. Mechanisms such as AGE-receptor axis, reactive oxygen species, inflammation, and cell death pathways contribute to the impairment of neurovascular units. Neuronal cell death is directly associated with vision reduction in diabetic patients, highlighting the need for neuroprotective therapies targeting AGEs.

Summary: The formation of advanced glycation end-products (AGE) in tissues is a physiological process, but excessive production and storage can lead to inflammation. A sedentary lifestyle, hypercaloric and high-fructose diet, and increased intake of processed food contribute to the excessive production of AGE. Accumulation of AGE increases oxidative stress and initiates various diseases.

Summary: Natural products found in various natural foods have potential biological activities, including plants, fruits, vegetables, and marine life. The biochemical reaction known as advanced glycation end products (AGEs) in the human body contributes to the pathogenesis of diabetic complications. Researchers are exploring the use of food-derived natural products to control AGEs-related disease complications.

Summary: The aim of this study was to analyze scientific articles on advanced glycation end products (AGEs) and obesity using bibliometric methods. The results showed an increase in studies on processed foods and obesity, with the United States making the largest contribution in this field. Open access journals had higher citation numbers and younger publication years compared to closed access journals.
