Glycation Damage Accumulates Slower in Centenarian Species— Protein Longevity vs Turnover

Mechanism: Long-lived species maintain protein integrity by enhancing glyoxalase detoxification and aldehyde scavenging, preventing Advanced Glycation End-product (AGE) accumulation. Readout: Readout: This mechanism results in higher 'Protein Health' and a significantly elevated 'Longevity Score' compared to typical mammals.

Advanced glycation end-products accumulate with age in mammals, crosslinking proteins. But long-lived species show minimal glycation despite higher metabolic spans. The mechanism may be enhanced glyoxalase detoxification and aldehyde scavenging that mammals gradually lose.
