Exploring Mechanisms of Diabetes-Related Macrovascular Complications: Role of Methylglyoxal, a Metabolite of Glucose on Regulation of Vascular Contractility
Methylglyoxal (MGO) is a metabolite of glucose. MGO binds to and modifies arginine, lysine, and cysteine residues in proteins, which leads to formation of a variety of advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) such as argpyrimidine and Nε-(carboxyethyl)lysine. The concentration of MGO significantly inc...
