Plagiarism

I've removed the plagiarism note from the page for two reasons-

There was no clearer and/or shorter way to state the same information, and so the wording would be the same.
Its been included as a reference and as such I don't think there should be a problem with keeping the info in.

Good so far:

Several reasonable references, well formatted
Chembox

Still need:

First characterization, proof of structure
Diagram in chembox
Photo of pentosidine in cells (saw several at =en&q=pentosidine&btnG=Search+Images&gbv=2 Google images).
Diagram of the formation of pentosidine from sugars, proteins, ROS.
Much more text about pentosidine as a marker for AGE, especially in diabetes.
- Is it a factor in other plaque disease, like Alzheimers and atherosclerosis?
- Pentosidine is a marker for elevated glucose, as is A1c. But they pentosidine is more sensitive to oxidation. Discuss relation to ROS
Detail on how pentosidine is assayed.
- Since its a fluorescent compound, a spectrum would be nice.
How pentosidine (and other AGE) are cleared from the body.
