## Abstract Formation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) in extracellular matrix (ECM) is implicated in the development of chronic diabetic complications. However, the involvement of AGEs in diabetic bone disease has not been well established. We have examined whether AGEs are increased in t

Abstract
This study focuses on the development of a novel method of nonenzymatic glycation of fibrillar collagen gels. In contrast to previous studies in which type I collagen gels were glycated in the solid state, this study presents a method for glycation in solution. The type I collagen in solution or gels was exposed to a range of ribose concentrations from 0 to 250 m__M__. The binding of ribose to collagen was documented using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. formation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) was quantified by fluorescence measurement. The bulk compressive modulus and viscoelastic time constant of processed gels were determined in stress relaxation studies. Both methods of glycation enhanced ribose addition and AGE formation in a doseโdependent manner, with glycation in the gel state being more efficient. Both methods enhanced mechanical properties similarly, with 250 m__M__ ribose treatment resulting in a 10โfold increase in bulk modulus. ยฉ 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Biomed Mater Res, 2010
