“For instance, combining magnesium and vitamin D achieved the greatest reduction in plasma levels of pro-inflammatory tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), C-reactive protein (CRP), and interleukin 6 (IL-6).”

“AGEs are potentially harmful molecules derived from the nonenzymatic glycation of proteins—they promote oxidative stress, inflammation, and apoptosis. High glucose also promotes aging through another pathway. When cells are overwhelmed with glucose, they can't break it down effectively.”

“Researchers measured chair-stand performance as the main outcome, along with other measures of physical function and quality of life, C-reactive protein (CRP, a marker of inflammation), epigenetic age measures (estimates of biological age based on chemical tags on DNA), routine safety blood tests, and adverse events.”

“_Published biomarkers: C-reactive protein, Serum creatinine, Glycated hemoglobin, Serum albumin, Serum total cholesterol, Cytomegalovirus optical density, Serum urea nitrogen, Serum alkaline phosphatase SI, Forced expiratory volume, Systolic blood pressure.”

“They need them in both balance and abundance, just like most people need all three food macronutrients (protein, carbohydrates, and fat). Enjoyment "If you add people and memory, you manage your pleasures instead of them managing you."”

“Reactive oxygen species produced during alcohol metabolism damage cells in the testes, notably through the alcohol-inducible enzyme cytochrome P450 2E1, which is involved in the generation of ROS and hydroxyl radicals in the testes. Acetaldehyde (an alcohol metabolite) disrupts testosterone production by inhibiting protein kinase C, a key enzyme in testosterone synthesis.”

“02:16:05 - 2 grams of EPA per day has been shown to reduce C-reactive protein (CRP), which is a generalized systemic marker for inflammation but is most well known for its use to asses risk of cardiovascular disease. 02:17:45 - Omega-3 fatty acids are prone to oxidation.”

“The risk of major depression has been shown to increase by 44% for each standard deviation increase in log c-reactive protein (inflammatory biomarker). Inflammation is caused by a variety of factors including emotional/social stress, poor diet, sedentary lifestyle, poor sleep, and more.”

Dr. Rhonda Patrick answers audience questions on various health, nutrition, and science topics in this Q&A session.

“Whereas its link to diabetes is well known, what is likely underappreciated is that refined sugar may be linked to as many as 200,000 deaths worldwide each year from diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and cancer combined. Refined sugar also affects the brain.”
