Dietary advanced glycation end products (AGEs) may result in various adverse health consequences, such as inflammation, cancer, liver diseases, obesity, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, proteostatis impairment and memory decline. Natural ingredients may be a promising strategy to inhibit AGEs generation and ameliorate health risks of AGEs. The mechanisms involved in inhibition of AGEs with use of natural ingredients include antioxidant activity, reactive carbonyl trapping, and suppressing pathways of RAGE (receptor of advanced glycation end product), MAPK (mitogen-activated protein kinases) and NF-κB (nuclear factor-kappa B).This mini review summarizes the present understanding of the adverse impact of AGEs on health and the inhibitory effect of natural ingredients on AGEs.
