Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) are compounds that are produced through non-enzymatic chemical reactions when sugars bond with proteins or lipids, occurring in conditions such as diabetes, uremia, aging, and rheumatic arthritis. A specific receptor, known as RAGE, interacts with select AGEs to trigger cell signaling. Pentosidine, a prominently studied natural AGE, serves as a common biomarker for assessing AGE production. Although pentosidine levels can be determined through urine analysis, it is predominantly broken down prior to excretion.
N-Oleoyl taurine, an amino-acyl endocannabinoid isolated from rat brain, along with several arachidonoyl amino acids such as N-arachidonoyl dopamine and N-arachidonoyl serine, have been derived from bovine brain. Mass spectral lipidomics analysis of rat brain revealed a series of fatty acyl amides of taurine, marking the discovery of a new class of compounds. These compounds, found in the kidney, are known to activate members of the transient receptor potential (TRP) family of calcium channels, with N-Oleoyl taurine specifically potentially activating TRPV1 and TRPV4 channels.
