The article states that glycation markers correlate with arterial stiffness measurements in post-menopausal women. Glycation cross-links arterial collagen and elastin, stiffening arterial walls. Arterial recoil depends on collagen and elastin integrity in the arterial walls. Loss of arterial elasticity is described as increasing blood pressure and pressure damage to organs.
