Abstract

The metabolic syndrome is defined by the presence of obesity, insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, and hypertension. Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) are stable end products of the Maillard reaction, whereby AGE accumulation is considered not only a biomarker of aging but is also associated with several degenerative diseases. AGEs are recognized by several receptor molecules of which the receptor of AGEs (RAGE) is currently the most intensively studied receptor. Activation of RAGE causes an unfavorable proinflammatory state and deletion of RAGE in diabetic animals has been reported to protect against atherosclerosis. AGEs and a high fat diet are associated with cardiovascular diseases, whereas is still not clear whether a direct link between high fat nutrition and AGEs exists in vivo. C57BL/6 and C57BL/6 RAGE -/- mice were fed a high fat diet to induce obesity. Weight, insulin, lipid levels, AGE modifications, and cardiac gene expression were analyzed. The absence of RAGE resulted in accelerated weight gain, increased plasma cholesterol, and higher insulin levels in obese mice. The hearts of normal and obese RAGE -/- mice contained lower levels of the AGE arginine-pyrimidine and 3DG-imidazolone than RAGE + / + animals. RAGE ...Continue Reading

Cardiovascular Disease Pathophysiology

Cardiovascular disease involves several different processes that contribute to the pathological mechanism, including hyperglycemia, inflammation, atherosclerosis, hypertension and more. Vasculature stability plays a critical role in the development of the disease. Discover the latest research on cardiovascular disease pathophysiology here.
