Understanding the role of copper and zinc transition metals in biological systems is very important because of the metabolic and physiological functions they present. Copper functions as a cofactor for several metallo-enzymes, but is toxic when present in high concentrations or in pathologies. Zinc, depending on concentration, can cause both positive and negative physiological changes. Th…
Glycation is the binding of free amino groups of proteins with a reducing sugar, such as glucose, and results in the formation of the Advanced Glycation End-produts (AGEs). Recent studies show that AGEs play a role in Alzheimer's disease (AD), since amyloid precursor protein (APP) is also regulated by these advanced glycation end products in vitro and in vivo. The cells have a mechanism t…
