Albumin glycation

1. Carnivorous diet is associated with albumin glycation in birds.

   “terrestrial carnivores showed higher albumin glycation compared to omnivores despite not showing higher glucose”

1. Glucose is associated with albumin glycation in birds.

   “Glucose levels correlated positively with albumin glycation rates in a non-linear fashion”

1. Albumin glycation predicts survival probability in T. melba.

   “higher albumin glycation predicted lower survival, although in an age-dependent manner.”

1. Age is associated with albumin glycation in T. melba (Peaked at 5 years).

   “Albumin glycation, but not glucose, varies with age, peaking at 5 years”
