Mitochondrial Dysfunction as a Contribution to Muscle Aging
How much of the characteristic loss of muscle mass and strength that takes place with aging is the result of mitochondrial dysfunction? Mitochondria produce the chemical energy store molecules needed to power cellular processes, but in addition to the loss of this capacity, dysfunction in mitochondria can also generate oxidative stress that further impairs cell function. Some degree of mitochondrial dysfunction emerges from damage to mitochondrial DNA, but it is also the case that age-related changes in gene expression reduce the efficiency of mitochondrial quality control, the process of mitophagy responsible for removing...

A Seed and Soil Model for Gut Microbiome Aging to Contribute to Alzheimer's Disease
It is becoming clear that characteristic age-related changes in the composition of the gut microbiome accompany specific age-related diseases, and may well be contributing meaningfully to the development of those conditions. At the very least, the aged gut microbiome creates chronic inflammation, and that unresolved inflammatory signaling is disruptive to cell and tissue function throughout the body. There may be many other meaningfully involved mechanisms, however, such as changes in metabolite production. Many microbial metabolites have a beneficial effect on cell function, such as butyrate, and are known to decline with...

Processed Foods Linked To Increased Blood Pressure, Study Finds
Conclusions
This groundbreaking study highlights the link between high consumption of processed foods and increased blood pressure variability, particularly at night.
The findings emphasize the crucial role of diet and lifestyle in cardiovascular health.
Interestingly, researchers noted an unexpected association: higher consumption of ultra-processed foods was linked to less variation in night-time blood pressure.
This puzzling finding suggests a need for further investigation into the effects of ultra-processed foods on our health.
In conclusion, the study underscores the importance of prioritizing unproc...
