“These findings suggest that INSL3 is a robust biomarker of sexual function and future disease risk in men. Factors that may influence INSL3 production include childhood body mass index, prepubertal nutrition, and genetics. Read full publication.”

“Researchers measured the women's inflammatory biomarkers before and after the intervention. They found that the women's omega-3 levels increased markedly following the intervention, and their C-reactive protein levels decreased sixfold.”

“Evidence suggests it is a reliable biomarker of sudden cardiac death risk and may provide a means of standardizing methodologies used in clinical trials, facilitating more accurate interpretation of clinical trial outcomes.”

“The analysis identified three disease states and 22 biomarkers related to liver and kidney function, cardiovascular and metabolic health, inflammation, longevity, genetics, and vitamin and mineral status that independently drive biological aging and disease risk.”

“At the 12-month follow-up, 80 percent of the men displayed no evidence of clinically significant cancer; 65 percent of the men had no evidence of cancer in biopsied tissue; and 96 percent of the men had significantly reduced prostate-specific antigen levels, a biomarker for prostate cancer.”

“A growing body of research demonstrates that exercise has beneficial effects on brain health. N-acetyl aspartic acid (NAA) is a compound found in the central nervous system that serves as a biomarker of neuronal health and energy production.”

“Although epidemiological and observational data support the role of nutrition in maintaining cognitive health in aging, establishing which components of a diet support brain health is difficult and error-prone when relying on food intake surveys and biomarker studies.”

“Using 18 routinely measured clinical biomarkers, researchers calculated the biological ages of more than 325,000 people enrolled in the UK Biobank study. Then, they evaluated how older biological age influenced the occurrence of neurological conditions, including dementia of all types, stroke, Parkinson's disease, and motor neuron disease, over a nine-year follow-up period.”

“They found that increased brain omega-3 levels were positively associated with elevated plasma BDNF but inversely associated with red blood cell concentrations, suggesting that plasma BDNF is a more dependable biomarker than the Omega-3 Index for evaluating the effectiveness of omega-3 supplementation and dietary intake in enhancing brain function.”

“The participants performed two bouts of vigorous exercise, separated by a 24-hour rest period, and provided blood samples before, during, and after the exercise sessions. The blood samples revealed that supplementation increased biomarkers of bone formation, including parathyroid hormone and osteocalcin.”
