“Several biomarkers can be measured that estimate biological age as it compares to chronological age. These include IGF-1 (insulin-like growth factor 1), insulin, glucose, C-reactive protein (a measure of systemic inflammation), triglycerides, and blood pressure.”

“A growing body of evidence suggests that sulforaphane's protective effects extend to the brain, where it appears to enhance brain-derived neurotrophic factor (a protein that controls and promotes the growth of new neurons) and inhibits histone deacetylation (an epigenetic modification that influences gene expression).”

“We lose muscle mass with age, partly driven by anabolic resistance – the reduced sensitivity to a given protein dose that promotes muscle building. Also, with age, chronic, low-level inflammation can impair muscle building.”

“OpenAI has developed a new protein-engineering model that enhances the efficiency of Yamanaka factors—proteins used to reprogram human cells into stem cells. This project marks OpenAI's first venture into biological research.”

“Interestingly, the presence of many of these proteins is regulated by circadian rhythms that are synchronized with the infant's needs. "Emerging evidence suggests that some of the immune and health benefits that infants acquire during breastfeeding may be lifelong.".”

“However, sleep-restricted participants who engaged in HIIT did not experience these disturbances. The sarcoplasm is the cytoplasm of muscle cells. Sarcoplasmic protein synthesis is crucial for muscle growth, repair, and maintenance, contributing to overall muscle health and function.”

“Chronic inflammation may cause pericytes – specialized cells that sit atop brain capillaries – to detach, allowing toxic compounds and immune cells to enter the brain, causing neuroinflammation. DHA, an omega-3 fatty acid, which might help protect the blood-brain barrier, relies on a protein called Mfsd2a to transport it to the brain.”

“The good news is that collagen supplementation may have benefits beyond this specific role. Collagens are major structural proteins in many body tissues, including tendons, ligaments, cartilage, skin, blood vessels, muscles, gut tissue, and dentin.”

“In Silico Study of Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids as Potential SARS-CoV-2 Spike Protein Closed Conformation Stabilizers: Epidemiological and Computational Approaches. Blood omega-3 fatty acids and death from COVID-19: A pilot study.”

“A meta-analysis of 42 trials found that interrupting sitting reduced post-meal glucose and insulin, while small trials found improved cardiorespiratory fitness after brief stair-climbing sessions and increased muscle-protein-synthesis signaling after walking or squat breaks.”
