“These alterations in blood lipids correlated with improved Alzheimer's biomarkers and cognitive measures. The American Heart Association diet had little or no effect on blood lipids or cognitive function. The traditional ketogenic diet is high in fat and low in carbohydrates.”

“This cross-sectional study involved 140 children between the ages of nine and 14 years. The authors measured blood biomarkers including retinol, beta-carotene, riboflavin, and red blood cell levels of EPA and DHA.”

“Participants consumed two 8-ounce servings of the beverage every day for the duration of the study. The authors of the study measured the participants' nutritional biomarkers (in blood) and assessed their physical and cognitive performance before and after the study.”

“The study also relied on self-reported symptoms rather than medical examinations, and did not include measurements of sulforaphane blood levels or biomarkers such as cytokines or gene expression that could clarify the mechanisms.”

“The mechanisms that drive these effects are thought to be related to improvements in muscle tissues' oxidative capacity, enhanced insulin response, and improvements in heart function (specifically, left ventricle ejection fraction) and vascular compliance (an indicator of blood vessel elasticity and storage capacity).”

“At the end of the study, the participants who adhered to the Mediterranean diet showed reductions in biomarkers associated with inflammation (such as C-reactive protein and interleukin 17) and improvements in frailty-associated measures (such as handgrip strength, gait speed time, and cognitive function).”

“Dithiocarbamate levels in urine serve as a biomarker of glucosinolate intake. The study involved two dissimilar groups of people: rural Han Chinese and racially mixed Baltimoreans. The participants abstained from cruciferous vegetable consumption for three days prior to the beginning of the study.”

“They noted that both olive oils used in the study have phenol concentrations that meet the European Commission’s standard for quality olive oil, making differences in their effects harder to detect. They suggested that future studies should collect biomarkers, use PET scans to measure disease progression, and include larger sample sizes.”

“Participants provided blood samples for the assessment of inflammatory biomarkers, including C-reactive protein (CRP), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), amyloid A (an apolipoprotein secreted in the acute stage of inflammation), white blood cells, and interleukin-6 (IL-6).”

“Existing antibodies may therefore function as a window into the health of the antibody-producing immune system, not merely as evidence of past infection. In episode #113, Dr. Derya Unutmaz describes how AI could combine biomarkers, immune function, and clinical history into individualized health models.”
