Non-Enzymatic Glycation in Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s Disease: A Molecular Approach to Pathology and Recent Advances
Abstract: Non-enzymatic glycation, a biochemical process by which reducing sugars spontaneously bind to proteins, leads to the formation of advanced glycation end-products (AGEs), which have emerged as critical contributors to the pathogenesis of several neurodegenerative diseases, particularly Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and Parkinson’s disease (PD). The accumulation of AGEs can significantly alter protein structure, stability, and function, triggering a cascade of detrimental effects, including increased oxidative stress, heightened neuroinflammation, and the promotion …
