“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.”

“Metformin inhibits mitochondrial adaptations and improvements in cardiorespiratory fitness after aerobic exercise training in older adults. Metformin also diminished whole-body insulin sensitivity after aerobic exercise. Metformin did not diminish the improvements in HbA1c, fasting insulin, 24‐hr mean glucose, and fat mass or the increase in skeletal muscle telomere length after exercise.”

“Supplementation with PQQ decreased biomarkers of inflammation and oxidation and increased markers of mitochondrial activation in a small trial in humans. Previous studies have also demonstrated that PQQ improved mitochondrial efficiency in humans.”

“Manipulation of cellular levels of NAD+ as a strategy for slowing aging "We’ve shown that NMN and others have shown for NR that it also helps with blood flow and actually mimics exercise and regrows the vascular system.” - David Sinclair, Ph.D. As we age, however, the NAD+ levels in our bodies decline, reducing resveratrol's potency.”

“As a founding principal investigator at Altos Lab, Dr. Levine sits at the frontier of aging research, where she and her colleagues are investigating what she describes as some of the most exciting research in the field, centered on interrupted cellular reprogramming.”

“Sirtuins utilize NAD+ to remove specific chemical structures called acetyl groups – a process called deacetylation – from cellular proteins to control transcriptional regulation, energy metabolism, circadian rhythms, DNA repair, and cell survival.”

“When it comes to managing inflammation, we often focus on what lifestyle habits we might need to get rid of, but it's just as important to focus on things we can add to our lifestyles. In this Aliquot, we'll talk about my top recommendations for lifestyle habits that reduce inflammation.”
