Glycation is the result of a sugar molecule bonding to a protein or lipid molecule without the controlling action of an enzyme. Studies worldwide have shown Alpha Lipoic Acid's ability to normalize glucose uptake and utilization. Alpha lipoic acid helps block glycation reactions in the body.

Yes, there are HbA1a, HbA1b, as well as HbA1c. The coding breakdown is given below.

When hemoglobin is exposed to higher than normal levels of glucose over time (blood sugar) it binds with it, this is called glycation. And since the normal life span of red blood cells is about 120 days, glycated hemoglobin can be used to assess the average level of blood sugar during the preceding three months of the test.

Hb - Hemoglobin

HbA - Adult hemogolbin (as contrasted to fetal hemoglobin, HbF)

HbA0 - non-glycated hemoglobin.

HbA1 - glycated hemoglobin

HbA1a1 - Glycation with Fructose 1, 6 diphosphate

HbA1a2 - Glycation with Glucose 6 phosphate

HbA1b - Glycation with an unknown reaction partner

HbA1c - Glycation with D glucose

L HbA1c - denotes the labile HbA1c, or the aldimine fraction

S HbA1c - denotes the stable HbA1c, or the ketoamine fraction.

simple sugars are easily absorbed and cause glycation. and AGEs(Advanced Glycated Endproducts) cause more TOD(Target Organ Damage).

yes sugar is an important source of energy because it is considered as a source of endogenous glycation processes.it consists of glucose having the elements Carbon,Hydrogen and Oxygen that are essential for our body

Excess blood sugar creates GLYCATION that will accelerate aging for your body.

Sugar can rise our triglycerides to dangerous levels and cause Heart Disease.

Eating lots of sugar daily causes Type 2 Diabetes.

Sugar slows down your white blood cells and increase risks for infection such as Cancer Cells form in your body.
