Advanced glycation end products(AGEs) are a class of compounds that are formed during thermal processing and storage of foods, which are significantly associated with various chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and kidney diseases. In the present study, bread crust extract(BCE), rich in AGEs, was obtained from bread crust through water extraction, and we investigated if BCE could cause intracellular oxidative stress and cell damage in human kidney tubular epithelial cells(HKCs). HKC...
