Abstract
Exposure of tissues to sugar lead to the formation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs), contributing to diabetic complications. In human physiology, the vasculature is in direct contact with blood, thus the effect of diabetes is expected to be most severe with the vasculature. In this study, we incubated excised porcine aorta in D-glucose, Dgalactose, and D-fructose solutions. Multiphoton microscopy shows that for Days 4 to 48 incubation, autofluorescence is constant along the aorta sections, suggesting that monosaccharide diffusion is rapid when compared to the rate of fluorescent AGE formation.
