Background

GA reacts with proteins to form AGEs, such as GA-pyridine, which is specific for protein modification by GA. GA-pyridine accumulates in human atherosclerotic lesions. As atherosclerosis and progressive glomerulosclerosis share many similarities, we hypothesized that GA-pyridine accumulates in renal diseases, especially those with prominent mesangial involvement.
