Mechanism of AGE Damage to Peritoneal Membranes

Advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) are a well-known reason for peritoneal inflammation, though we didn’t know why. Researchers developed a way to study the Maillard reaction in collagen at near-physiological temperatures and found markedly increased permeability to small and medium-sized molecules as well as reduced proliferation of adherent mesothelial cells.
