YI 2.3 Methylglyoxal, 3-Deoxyglucosone, and Glyoxal – Precursors of Advanced Glycation Endproducts – are not Independently Associated with Indices of Carotid Stiffness: The Maastricht Study

Background: Arterial stiffness is a strong predictor of cardiovascular diseases and all-cause mortality [1]. Increased fasting plasma concentrations of highly reactive dicarbonyl compounds – methylglyoxal (MGO), 3-deoxyglucosone (3-DG), and/or glyoxal (GO) – may cause arterial stiffening via for mat...
