Core Tip
Core tip: Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) in type 2 diabetes mellitus impose a clinical and an economic burden on the healthcare system. Early diagnosis of diabetes may prevent its progression to complications and decrease its associated comorbidities. The present manuscript reports the clinical relevance of estimating advanced glycation end products (AGEs) in diabetes. The deleterious effects of AGEs include many important biochemical reactions central to the development and progression of cardiovascular complications in diabetes. Therefore, AGEs are one of the important targets for future diagnosis and prevention of diabetes. The epidemiology of CVD in diabetes, AGEs as a crucial mediator of diabetic CVD, and an overview of different strategies for countering the accumulation of AGEs is discussed along with new therapeutic interventions to ameliorate their effects.
