“Early biomarkers of vascular dysfunction, such as soluble platelet-derived growth factor receptor-beta (sPDGFR-β), can help identify individuals at risk for developing Alzheimer's disease. These biomarkers are being validated on high-throughput platforms for large-scale testing.”

“According to the latest research on fed vs. fasted exercise: If your workout lasts longer than 60 minutes, especially aerobic (endurance-based) sessions, eating beforehand tends to improve performance Your body has quick access to glucose, which helps you go longer and harder.”

“However, the ability to translate data from non-human animals to humans can be limited and the use of laboratory animals can raise ethical concerns. In this clip, Dr. George Church describes the pros and cons of animal research and how we could move beyond its use with advanced technologies.”

“The mechanisms that drive the effects of sauna bathing include activation of heat shock proteins and pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines; decreased blood pressure and arterial stiffness; and multiple improvements in cardiovascular function.”

“Premenopausal females have much lower rates of cardiovascular disease than similarly aged males because of the protective effects of estrogen, but after menopause, there's not much of a difference, and cardiometabolic risk factors actually worsen in females during the menopause transition, indicating this may be a crucial time for exercise intervention to protect the cardiovascular system.”

“An enriched marine-oil study produced time- and dose-dependent increases in specialized pro-resolving mediators and altered blood-cell responses over 24 hours; it tested biomarkers, not disease prevention. Exercise, sauna, and cruciferous vegetables act through different pathways.”
