Glycation can occur both inside and outside the organism, taking the names of endogenous and exogenous glycation.
Glycation is a random, spontaneous process that alters the functioning of biomolecules and does not require the use of ATP (adenosine-tri-phosphate) - the molecule that carries energy.
Attention! Much of the early research on fructose glycations has exploited imprecise analytical techniques that have led to a drastic underestimation of the importance of fructose in glycation.
