Dr. Eric M. Verdin discusses the roles of the ketogenic diet, beta-hydroxybutyrate, HDAC inhibitors, NAD+, and more in the context of aging.

“A growing body of evidence suggests that exogenous lactate or beta-hydroxybutyrate may be useful in the treatment of traumatic brain injury. These compounds allow glucose to be spared as an energy source and instead be utilized in the synthesis of the antioxidant glutathione, which is vital following a brain injury.”

“During sleep, the brain activates the glymphatic system, a self-cleaning process that rids the brain of metabolic byproducts. One of these byproducts is amyloid-beta, a toxic protein that aggregates and forms plaques in the brain with age and is associated with Alzheimer's disease.”

“In this video, Dr. Darya & Kevin Rose talk about beta-hydroxybutyrate, an endogenous ketone body that increases in concentration during times of fasting or carbohydrate restriction. Beta-hydroxybutyrate also increases during a fasting-mimicking diet, which is a time of temporary period of calorie and protein restriction that generates many of the same biochemical effects of prolonged fasting.”

“Meta-analysis. 00:13:15 - The challenges of studying telomere biology in rodents, which have ultra-long telomeres often requiring scientists to artificially shorten the telomeres in order to make any model of disease closer to what might be seen in humans.”

Dr. Rhonda Patrick answers audience questions on various health, nutrition, and science topics in this Q&A session.

“Blueberry-specific trials Meta-analyses of randomized trials find that blueberry interventions can improve FMD by roughly 1 to 1.5 percentage points, and studies in postmenopausal women with high blood pressure report improved FMD even when conventional blood pressure or artery stiffness measures don't change.”

“AFB1 is a potent liver carcinogen. How common are they? A worldwide meta-analysis of green and roasted coffee beans found that 48% of all samples tested positive with a typical level of 2.3 ug/kg.”
