“In this clip, Drs. Levine and Patrick discuss how genes that are important for embryonic development can tell us a lot about aging. Dr. Levine gives her insights into the process of aging - is it the accumulation of random damage or the malfunction of a cellular program?”

“In this first episode of the Aliquot podcast, Rhonda discusses topics such as her pre-pregnancy diet, exercise, and sleep; which supplements she included and avoided during pregnancy; the benefits of omega-3s and risk from mercury-containing fish; and nutrition for infants and toddlers that may positively influence brain development.”

“Prospective human cohorts have reported associations between prenatal BPA measurements and later child behavior, sometimes with sex-specific patterns, but results are inconsistent and residual confounding remains possible.”

“Rather, they fall on a spectrum, ranging from a five-to-one ratio of fats to protein and carbs (typically used in clinical settings) to a more liberalized one-to-one ratio, a type of low glycemic index therapy (commonly referred to as "modified Atkins") that might meet the needs of most healthy people.”

“Most infant formulas don't contain MFGMs, but evidence suggests that the bovine form of the MFGM exerts similar beneficial effects on human infants when included in infant formula. In this clip, Dr. Rhonda Patrick describes the structure and function of milk fat globule membranes in breast milk.”

“However, the high doses used in the study did not translate well to humans. An examination of several small clinical studies found that ivermectin showed some benefit, however the quality of the studies in the analysis has been called into question.”

“Evidence suggests that omega-3 fatty acids in breast milk increase brain volumes in multiple regions of the brain and might influence intelligence, behavior, and communication. In this clip, Dr. Rhonda Patrick discusses the importance of omega-3 fatty acids in breast milk and their relevance for infant brain development.”

“Early biomarkers of vascular dysfunction, such as soluble platelet-derived growth factor receptor-beta (sPDGFR-β), can help identify individuals at risk for developing Alzheimer's disease. These biomarkers are being validated on high-throughput platforms for large-scale testing.”

“Aging in tumor tissue is markedly accelerated, however – an indicator of the perturbed metabolic and growth processes observed in cancer. In this clip, Dr. Steve Horvath discusses correlations between epigenetic aging and age-related chronic diseases.”
