Abstract
Glycation and other non-enzymic post-translational modifications of proteins have been implicated in the complications of diabetes and other conditions. In recent years there has been extensive progress in the search for ways to prevent the modifications and prevent the consequences of the modifications. These areas are covered in this review together with newer ideas on possibilities of reversing the chemical modifications.
