The rising incidence of metabolic diseases is linked to elevated blood glucose levels, contributing to conditions such as diabetes and promoting the accumulation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs). AGEs, formed by non-enzymatic reactions between sugars and proteins, build up in tissues and are implicated in various diseases. This article explores the relationship between glycemic control and AGE accumulation, focusing on fertility implications. A computational model using network theory was developed, featuring a molecular database and a network with 145 nodes and 262 links, categorized as a Barabasi–Albert scale-free network. Three main subsets of nodes emerged, centered on glycemic control, fertility, and immunity, with AGEs playing a critical role. The transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1), a receptor expressed in several tissues including sperm, was identified as a key hub, suggesting that the modulation of TRPV1 in sperm by AGEs may influence fertility. Additionally, a novel link between glycemic control and immunity was found, indicating that immune cells may play a role in endocytosing specific AGEs. This discovery underscores the complex interplay between glycemic control and immune function, with significant implications for metabolic, immune health, and fertility.
