“Advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) form in foods when their sugars, amino acids, and fats encounter heat. The molecules rearrange, forming brown polymers (a process known as the Maillard reaction) and creating the deep flavors of browned barley in beer, roasted coffee, seared meats, and French fries.”

“Biomarker Monitoring Monitoring biomarkers is one way to assess the potential effectiveness and risks of hormone replacement therapy. Derek recommends that comprehensive baseline testing should include some of the following biomarkers—after a baseline assessment to adequately assess changes.”

“Tau tangles are associated with Alzheimer's disease, dementia, and are also linked to progressive nerve damage. Repeated head injury has been associated with neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's disease but this is the first time that just a single head injury has been linked to pathological biomarkers associated with these diseases.”

“Despite a beneficial improvement in vascular health, creatine did not improve biomarkers of oxidative stress but did improve fasting blood glucose from 103 to 99 mg/dL and triglycerides from 100 to 84 mg/dL. Both of these are traditional cardiovascular disease risk factors.”

“The study included 13 men and 6 women, a majority who were considered to be obese, with an average age of 59 years; 12 of the patients had elevated fasting glucose and HbA1c (a biomarker of circulating glucose), at a level considered pre-diabetic.”

“Whereas the participants who took the fish oil supplement had biomarker profiles that were cardioprotective, the participants who took the placebo had biomarker profiles associated with inflammation and cardiovascular disease.”

“Offspring from FoxO3a knockout mice experienced the same decrease in senescence biomarkers and neural tube defect rates as rapamycin-treated mice. These results elucidate the mechanisms by which maternal diabetes can cause birth defects through metabolic changes that accelerate aging.”

“Participants completed questionnaires about their olive oil consumption, defined as high (3 tablespoons or more daily) or low (1.5 tablespoons or less daily). The researchers collected information about the participants' lifestyles, assessed their overall diet quality, and measured their biomarkers associated with chronic disease risk.”
