The condition of oxidative stress arises when oxidant production exceeds antioxidant activity
in cells and plasma. The overabundance of oxidants is mechanistically connected to the …

Carbonylation of proteins is an irreversible oxidative damage, often leading to a loss of
protein function, which is considered a widespread indicator of severe oxidative damage …

Advanced glycation end products (AGEs), a group of compounds that are formed by non-
enzymatic reactions between carbonyl groups of reducing sugars and free amino groups of …

Neurons have a constantly high glucose demand, and unlike muscle cells they cannot
accommodate episodic glucose uptake under the influence of insulin. Neuronal glucose …
