Description
Methylglyoxal (MGO) is a naturally occurring compound found in various foods and is a key component in the antibacterial activity of Manuka honey. However, it is also a reactive dicarbonyl compound formed as a byproduct of glycolysis and other metabolic processes. In high concentrations, MGO can contribute to oxidative stress and the formation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs), which are implicated in various age-related diseases.
