This is originally a normal metabolic process of the human body, but when a large amount of advanced glycation end products (Advanced Glycation End Products, below (Referred to as AGEs), this kind of adhesion will block the blood vessels, causing a series of inflammation, organ deterioration and disease problems. For example:
