N(ε)-(carboxymethyl)lysine (CML) is one of the major advanced glycation end products (AGEs). These are generated by the Maillard reaction (MR) during thermal treatment of foods or are formed in vivo by nonenzymatic chemical reactions, taking place in tissues or fluid where significant concentration of glucose, fructose, or more reactive dicarbonyls react with proteins. CML is formed by oxidation of fructosyl-lysine (an Amadori product) (the AGE path) and the direct reaction of glyoxal, produced during lipid peroxidation, with the ε-amino group of lysine (the ALE path). CML and other AGEs in tissues and serum/plasma increase with age, and have been assigned a role in the pathogenesis of age-related, chronic diseases, including diabetes, cardiovascular disease, Alzheimer’s disease and renal dysfunction (2, 3).
