Which outcome occurs when prolonged hyperglycemia persists in a system?

💡 Explanation

Advanced glycation end-product (AGE) occurs because protein glycation leads to AGEs, which induces oxidative stress and inflammation in the circulatory system; therefore AGE formation occurs, rather than improved protein or reduced synthesis.
