Glycation is a process where sugar in the bloodstream mucks onto proteins, creating something called advanced glycation end products or AGEs for short.

糖化，就是血糖黏在蛋白质上，这过程我们称为糖化终产物（AGEs）。

Another is glycation, which is when sugar molecules bind to key parts of your cells and prevent them from functioning.

另一种是糖基化，即糖分子与细胞的关键部分结合并阻止它们发挥作用。

This process of glycation particularly affects the efferent arteriole and causes it to get stiff and more narrow - a process called hyaline arteriosclerosis.

这种糖基化过程尤其影响出球小动脉，使其硬化、变窄——该过程叫玻璃样动脉硬化。

But the glucose still needs to go somewhere because if it sits in the bloodstream, it will bind to proteins in a damaging process called glycation.

但是，血糖还是要有地方去放。如果血糖在血管待太久，它将与蛋白质结合（糖化）。

The second most common cause of CKD is diabetes, excess glucose in the blood starts sticking to proteins in the blood — a process called non-enzymatic glycation because no enzymes are involved.

慢性肾病的第二大病因是糖尿病，血液中过多的葡萄糖黏附于血液中的蛋白质上，该过程叫非酶性糖基化过程，因为该过程不涉及酶。
