Why body type standards are wrong in measuring health
When you visit your doctor for your regular check-up, just like every human being, your body and health are judged by three main scientific standards to determine if you are healthy and “normal.” Standard 1 is the Standard Scientific Human Body Anatomy Book Body Type (BT1) found in any scientifically approved human body anatomy book.

Fight Aging! Newsletter, October 31st 2022
This study used mice to evaluate how their lifestyles - eating fatty foods vs. healthy and exercising vs. not - affected the metabolites of their offspring. Metabolites are substances made or used when the body breaks down food, drugs or chemicals, or its own fat or muscle tissue. "We have previously shown that maternal and paternal exercise improve health of offspring. Tissue and serum metabolites play a fundamental role in the health of an organism, but how parental exercise affects offspring tissue and serum metabolites has not yet been investigated." Researchers used targeted metabolomics - the study of metaboli...

What are BNP and NT-proBNP tests? Cardiology Basics
BNP and NT-proBNP tests are used for detection of heart failure. When the heart fails, there is stretching of the ventricles which leads to release of BNP from the myocardium. Pro BNP is the precursor of BNP, which is cleaved by enzymes to NT-proBNP and BNP. BNP stands for brain natriuretic peptide or B-type natriuretic peptide.  BNP is biologically active while NT-proBNP is not. NT stands for amino terminal of the protein. NT-proBNP has a longer plasma half life than BNP. Hence levels of NT-proBNP are more stable. Thus, it can reflect the stretching of the left ventricle, over the previous 12 hours. This is the reas...

Implicating Cellular Senescence in the Fibrosis and Inflammation of NASH
Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis, NASH, is a condition characterized by chronic inflammation and fibrosis in the liver. Fibrosis is a malfunction of tissue maintenance, the deposition of excessive, scar-like collagen that disrupts tissue structure and function. Like all fibrotic diseases, means of effectively reversing the progression of NASH are presently lacking. NASH is a lifestyle condition, a consequence of fatty liver and obesity, but losing weight and otherwise changing lifestyle will not significantly reverse established fibrosis and loss of liver function. Where fibrosis and inflammation characterize a condition, we m...
