Abstract
Introduction: High sugar consumption promotes endogenous formation of advancedglycation end-products (AGEs), a heterogeneous class of molecules originated from nonenzymaticglycation between reducing sugars and free amino groups of proteins, nucleicacids, or lipids. AGEs accumulation in tissues has been linked to aging and diabetescomplications. AGEs might also play an independent role in inflammation and developmentof cardiovascular disease (CVD). Exogenous dietary AGEs, due to excess intake of modernheat-treated foods, might act synergistically with endogenous AGEs, thus contributing toincrease inflammation and CVD. A large amount of ingested AGEs reaches the colon, wherethey might affect gut microbial metabolism, for example, by acting as substrate for colonicbacterial fermentation, driving alterations of microbiota composition and of intestinalpermeability. However in vitro and in vivo studies (animal and human) on the impact of AGEson the gut microbiota are discordant. This study on mice aims to link the modulation of gutmicrobiota by AGEs-enriched diet (AGE-D) with metabolic and inflammatory markers.Materials and methods: C57BL/6 mice were randomly allocated into the following dietaryregimens: Control (n=24) and AGE-D (n=20) for 22 weeks.
