“The good news is that the muscle atrophy, bone loss, and inflammation were reversed if the mice were returned to a normal dark-light cycle (not exposed to light during their rest hours).”

“Research suggests that the following environmental factors increase the burden of senescent cells: High glycemic diet: High blood sugar levels increased the rate of senescence in bone marrow-derived endothelial progenitor cells, a type of stem cell.”

“Mixed effects: Improves infection resistance, vaccine effectiveness, and bacterial clearance in some studies; increases infection loads and reduces survival in others. Musculoskeletal effects: Exacerbates age-related bone loss. Increases tendon strength.”

“A rejuvenation factor has been identified in young blood cells that is able to speed up fracture repair and lead to bone formation. This "youth factor" is called LRP1 and is produced by a type of blood cell called macrophages. This study showed that LRP1 isolated from blood cells from young mice and injected into a fracture in old mice rejuvenates the pace of repair.”

“Supplementation with fish oil during the 3rd trimester of pregnancy resulted in an increase in lean mass, bone mass, and fat mass without causing obesity in children 1-6 yrs suggesting a general growth stimulating effect (randomized controlled trial).”

“Creatine exerts both direct and indirect effects on bone. Creatine supplementation directly promotes osteoblast activity (bone-building cells) by potentially enhancing cellular energy availability.”

“Instead, the findings strengthen the case for a complete program: aerobic training directly develops cardiorespiratory fitness, while resistance training supports muscle, bone, physical function, and potentially blood-pressure and autonomic regulation after menopause.”

“His lab also developed a technique for harvesting 5 to 7 times more hematopoietic stem cells from placenta than is currently retrieved from cord blood, a more standard, established source that is used worldwide for bone-marrow transplant.”

“A high M1 to M2 ratio indicates inflammation and a chronic disease state. Researchers collected macrophages from the bone marrow of two groups of mice – one that had exercised regularly for eight weeks and one that had been sedentary.”

“Much of the body's magnesium is sequestered in the bones and muscles, so determining whether you're getting enough is tough. Blood tests aren't particularly accurate and are best for identifying severe deficiencies.”
