Abstract: Advanced glycation endproducts (AGEs), which are produced by glycation reaction related to the Mallard reaction, are involved in accelerated aging and diabetic complication. A huge body of literature has reported AGE research and developing AGE inhibitors has been a hot topic of intensive studies recently. In this review, we provide an outline of the formation of AGEs, their pathological damage, and the mechanisms underlying the anti-glycation and anti-glycation properties of foodstuffs. Prospects for future direction are also discussed.

Key words: advanced glycation endproducts (AGEs), inhibitor, research progress
