Background
Advanced Glycation End Product (AGE) is a general term for structures generated in the late stage of non-enzymatic glycation reactions (Millard reactions) between reducing sugars and proteins. AGE accumulation is known to be significantly elevated in age-related diseases such as diabetes and arteriosclerosis.

Nω-(carboxymethyl) arginine (CMA), a CML analogue, is an acid-labile AGE structure which was discovered in enzymatic hydrolysate of glycated collagen. CMA is preferentially generated in glycated collagen.
