The relationship between age-related glycation and a fluorescent product attributable to the advanced Maillard reaction was investigated in the aortas of rats between 4 and 120 weeks of age. The early-stage product of the Maillard reaction was measured using furosine (epsilon-N-(2-furoylmethyl)-L-lysine) as a marker. The advanced product was measured by fluorescence high-performance liquid chromatography. The level of furosine in the aorta increased with aging to reach a maximum value in rats of 50 to 70 weeks of age, and decreased in rats from 90 to 120 weeks of age. By contrast, the level of the putative advanced product reached a maximum in 90-week-old rats and remained at the maximum level in 120-week-old rats. The level of glycated hemoglobin showed no significant change in rats of more than 14 weeks of age. The advanced Maillard products may play an important role in the pathophysiology of aging arteries.
