Glycation
Sugar molecules attaching to proteins or fats
Glycation happens when sugars react with proteins or fats without the control of enzymes, forming compounds that can alter structure and function. Over time these modifications accumulate and are measured as one aspect of tissue aging. Research on compounds that may slow or counteract glycation products sometimes appears in metabolic and longevity contexts.
