“01:01:48 - How Dr. Church is working on a combination gene therapy to reverse age-related biomarkers, focusing on genes with cell non-autonomous effects, producing soluble factors that can rejuvenate the whole body – similar to how factors in young blood revitalized old organs in animal studies.”

“Before and after the program, ultrasound tests assessed the popliteal artery behind the knee before and after approximately two hours of uninterrupted sitting. One test measured artery widening in response to increased blood flow to assess the function of the artery lining.”

“With oxygen starvation, the tumor gains a sort of cloaking device that protects it from the toxic effects of chemotherapy drugs and radiation, which are designed to seek out well-oxygenated tissue. Researchers have long tested various approaches to improving blood flow to the tumor in the hopes of restoring potency to treatments, however, to date, not much has shown promise.”

“Evidence suggests flavanols promote angiogenesis (the formation of new blood vessels), which is crucial for adequate blood flow to the brain. Learn how blood flow to the brain influences cognitive function in this episode featuring Dr. Axel Montagne.”

“Although three of the four infants described in the report were born via Cesarean section, one was born vaginally and did not test positive for the virus. All the infants were isolated after birth and formula-fed. The authors of the report collected placenta, amniotic fluid, neonatal blood, gastric fluid, and anal swab samples from the infants for further study.”

“Further study in humans is necessary to fully elucidate the factors that affect the blood-testis barrier. View full publication. Read our overview articles to learn more about other biological barriers, such as the blood-brain barrier and the intestinal epithelium.”

“Higher fitness delayed the onset of dementia by 9.5 years compared to those with moderate fitness. Cardiovascular fitness is a measure of how well the heart, lungs, and blood vessels transport oxygen to the muscles during exercise.”

“Only in young adults, antiseptic mouthwash reduced bacterial diversity and weakened arterial dilation. The findings suggest that nitrate from beetroot juice improved blood pressure in older adults because their oral microbiome shifted toward species that favor nitric oxide production.”

“The supplemented rats showed broad improvements compared with controls: Blood levels of β-hydroxybutyrate rose, confirming the compound increased ketones. Body weight and fasting glucose decreased. Average systolic blood pressure over 24 hours dropped in both sexes.”

“To explore why blood sugar responses improved, a labeled form of glucose was added as a tracer to the test meal to track how glucose entered the bloodstream during digestion. The ketone monoester slowed the entry, suggesting slower movement of food through the gastrointestinal system or slower absorption.”
