INDIVIDUAL ARTICLE: Sugar Sag: What Is Skin Glycation and How Do You Combat It?
Journal of Drugs in Dermatology : JDD 2024 April 2
Skin aging is influenced by various exogenous and endogenous factors, ranging from ultraviolet (UV) light exposure and environmental toxins to biological sources, such as those that arise from normal metabolic processes (eg, free radicals). Glycation is the normal process by which glucose and other reducing sugars react with proteins to form an array of heterogeneous biomolecular structures known as advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) over time. However, AGEs are toxic to human cells and are implicated in the acceleration of inflammatory and oxidative processes, with their accumulation in the skin being associated with increased skin dulling and yellowing, fine lines, wrinkles, and skin laxity. Clinicians should become cognizant of how AGEs develop, what their biological consequences are, and familiarize themselves with available strategies to mitigate their formation. J Drugs Dermatol. 2024;23:4(Suppl 1):s5-10.
