Reactive carbonyl species

Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
3-Deoxyglucosone, a common RCS, rapidly reacts with protein amino groups to form AGEs.

Reactive carbonyl species (RCS) are molecules with highly reactive

advanced glycation endproducts (AGEs). AGE's are indicators of diabetes.[1]

Reactive aldehyde species (RASP),[2] such as malondialdehyde and 4-hydroxynonenal, are a subset of RCS that are implicated in a variety of human diseases.[3]
