Difference between Glycation and Lens (anatomy)

Glycation vs. Lens (anatomy)

Glycation (sometimes called non-enzymatic glycosylation) is the result of the covalent bonding of a sugar molecule, such as glucose or fructose, to a protein or lipid molecule, without the controlling action of an enzyme. The lens is a transparent, biconvex structure in the eye that, along with the cornea, helps to refract light to be focused on the retina.

Similarities between Glycation and Lens (anatomy)

Glycation and Lens (anatomy) have 6 things in common (in Unionpedia): Cornea, Crystallin, Diabetes mellitus, Glucose, Protein, Retina.

Cornea

The cornea is the transparent front part of the eye that covers the iris, pupil, and anterior chamber.

Crystallin

In anatomy, a crystallin is a water-soluble structural protein found in the lens and the cornea of the eye accounting for the transparency of the structure.
