    harmful compounds formed when proteins or fats bind with sugars

    Advanced Glycation End-products (AGEs) are harmful compounds formed when proteins or fats combine with sugars in the bloodstream through a process called glycation. These compounds accumulate in various tissues and organs over time, contributing to aging and the development of chronic diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and neurodegenerative disorders. AGEs can also affect skin elasticity and are implicated in hair follicle aging, potentially influencing conditions like alopecia.

      community Is 2-deoxy-D-ribose (2dDR) good for human hair?

      Topical 2-deoxy-D-ribose (2dDR) regrows hair in mice almost as well as 2% Minoxidil. However, 2dDR may contribute to oxidative stress and hair loss due to the formation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs).
