Ames: Vitamin and Mineral Inadequacy Accelerates Aging-associated Disease
“The triage theory posits that some functions of micronutrients are restricted during shortage and that functions required for short-term survival take precedence over those that are less essential. Insidious changes accumulate as a consequence of restriction”
Coordination of mitochondrial and lysosomal homeostasis mitigates muscle atrophy during aging
“our data allow us to propose a new adaptive mechanism involving the mitophagy protein BNIP3, which links mitochondrial and lysosomal homeostasis with inflammation and is key to maintaining muscle health during aging.”
Supplement appears to boost muscle, mitochondria health
New research suggests that the supplement, urolithin A, may help improve or prolong muscle activity in people who are aging or who have diseases that make exercise difficult.
Diverse Roles of Mitochondria in Immune Responses: Novel Insights Into Immuno-Metabolism (2018)
“In this review, we have presented an updated prospective of the mitochondrial machinery that drives various immune responses.”
Mitochondrial dysfunction in Crohn’s disease
“Many studies have revealed the involvement of mitochondrial stress in the pathophysiology of IBD but whether this is a cause or consequence of the disease is not known,”
Researchers find evidence of DNA damage in veterans with Gulf War illness
“In blood tests, researchers observed more lesions and more mitochondrial DNA—that is, extra copies of genes—in veterans with Gulf War illness, relative to controls without the illness, suggesting excess DNA damage.”
Common antiseptic ingredients de-energize cells and impair hormone response
“A new in-vitro study by University of California, Davis, researchers indicates that quaternary ammonium compounds, or “quats,” used as antimicrobial agents in common household products inhibit mitochondria, the powerhouses of the cell, as well as estrogenic functions in cells. Their findings will appear online Aug. 22 in Environmental Health Perspectives, a publication of the National […]
Membrane Lipid Replacement for chronic illnesses, aging and cancer
“Clinical trials have shown the benefits of Membrane Lipid Replacement in restoring mitochondrial function and reducing symptoms.”
The Best Exercise for Aging Muscles
“Among the younger subjects who went through interval training, the activity levels had changed in 274 genes, compared with 170 genes for those who exercised more moderately and 74 for the weight lifters. Among the older cohort, almost 400 genes were working differently now, compared with 33 for the weight lifters and only 19 for […]
Evidence microbiota communicate with mitochondria
“We have found evidence for the first time that bacteria and mitochondria can ‘talk to each other’ at the metabolic level,” Wang said.
