Advanced
glycation end-product is a sugar metabolite formed by excessive accumulation of
sugar in the cells and is commonly termed as glycation. The excessive formation
of sugars in cells leads to the destruction of the cell membranes leading to
accumulation of intracellular adenosine triphosphate (ICTP) that eventually
phosphates the adenosine in the cell. Glycation can occur in several tissues
and is characterized by the generation of excessive quantities of the
glycosaminoglycan that results in the abnormal accumulation of sugars in the
cells.
High
incidence of diabetes contributes to growth of advanced
glycation end-products market. The formation of advanced glycation end
products appears to be enhanced in the diabetes as a result of hyperglycemia. According to the National Diabetes and
Diabetic Retinopathy Survey report published in October 2019, the prevalence of
diabetes in India was 11.8% during 2015-2019 and the prevalence of known
diabetes cases was 8.0% and new diabetes cases was 3.8% during the period.
Advanced
glycation end-product are proteins or lipids that become glycated as a result
of exposure to sugars. They are often a pre-cancer marker implicated in the
development or worsening of several degenerative illnesses, including
Alzheimer's, diabetes, and atherosclerosis. The incidence of Alzheimer's disease
and diabetes is high in the U.S., which indicates growth of the advanced
glycation end-products market in North America.
According to Alzheimer’s Association, around 5.8 million people in the
U.S. aged 65 and older are living with Alzheimer's dementia in 2020.
Several
studies have linked high consumption of advanced glycation end-product with wheezing
symptoms in children. Modern diets are linked to high levels of advanced
glycation end-products. Cooking methods that increase intake of advanced
glycation end-products include barbecuing, grilling, roasting, baking, frying,
sautéing, broiling, searing, and toasting. High levels of these products are
associated with the majority of chronic diseases, which may hinder growth of the
advanced glycation end-products market.
Dietary
advanced glycation end products are known to contribute to increased oxidant
stress and inflammation. The interaction between advanced glycation end-product
and the receptor for advanced glycation end-product is thought to ultimately
lead to oxidative stress. Formation
of advanced glycation end-products also induces production of reactive oxygen
species, which contribute to oxidative stress. Such scenario is also expected
to hinder growth of the advanced glycation end-products market.
