“Researchers tracked their ability to complete the program, adherence to the supplement regimen, changes in brain creatine levels, cognitive function, mitochondrial activity in blood cells, and muscle strength and size.”

“Although this research was performed in cells and future research will need to confirm the effects brake dust has on animals, these findings suggest that exposure to brake pad abrasion particles may be as harmful as exposure to diesel exhaust.”

“Glycine and cysteine levels are typically lower in older adults and people with metabolic disease. The authors of the study conducted a 36-week trial of glycine and cysteine (GlyNAC) supplementation in 16 healthy old (average age, 74 years) and young adults (average age, 24 years).”

“By restricting mice to a 12-hour window in which they can eat starting at the first bite of food but otherwise allowing them to eat the same amount of calories, they have shown that they can attain some pretty amazing benefits, including...”

“Researchers assigned 24 healthy young men to one of three five-night sleep protocols: normal sleep (eight hours nightly), sleep restriction (four hours nightly), and sleep restriction with HIIT. Researchers collected muscle biopsies to assess muscle protein synthesis before and after the intervention.”

“However, this result needs to be interpreted with caution, because there was only a clear difference after excluding one sedentary mouse with an unusually young methylation profile from the analysis, and a second aging test based on ribosomal DNA showed the same trend but the result was even less certain.”

“Researchers quantified the proteins present in the internal organs of mice and the plasma of humans and found that exercise alters multiple aspects of metabolism, including glucose uptake, mitochondrial activity, and carbohydrate utilization.”

“Researchers analyzed the findings of 13 studies involving more than 1,100 people who had conditions that commonly cause fatigue, such as heart failure, autoimmune disorders, and cancer.”

“The six-week, single-blind, randomized, controlled trial involved 30 overweight or obese men who engaged in moderate-intensity cycling either before or after eating a high-carbohydrate, mixed-macronutrient breakfast.”

“Notably, taurine concentrations were 80 percent lower in older adult humans than in young children. Then they gave middle-aged mice either taurine (1,000 milligrams per kilogram of body weight) or an inactive substance once daily until their natural deaths.”
