26: Glycation and Skin Aging with Dr. Paul Reynolds

In this essential episode of the College of Glycation series, Dr. Paul Reynolds—Professor of Cell Biology and Physiology—uncovers how glycation silently accelerates skin aging. Building on previous episodes exploring glycation’s impact on organs and metabolism, Dr. Reynolds now turns to the body’s largest and most visible organ: the skin. Glycation, the process by which sugar molecules bind to proteins and fats, forms toxic compounds known as AGEs (advanced glycation end products). These AGEs attack collagen and elastin—the proteins that keep skin firm, supple, and resilient. By crosslinking these fibers and activating inflammatory pathways like RAGE, glycation stiffens the skin, reduces elasticity, and triggers oxidative stress. The result? Wrinkles, sagging, and premature aging from the inside out. This lecture connects the dots between molecular biochemistry, lifestyle, and visible aging. From sugar-laden diets and high-heat cooking to UV exposure and smoking, Dr. Reynolds explains how daily habits accelerate AGE buildup—and how strategic interventions can reverse the damage. Backed by peer-reviewed research, this episode translates complex cellular science into practical, evidence-based tools for lifelong skin health and resilience.
