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...

More on the Debate Over the Classification of Aging as a Disease
Whether or not aging is clearly listed as a disease in the International Classification of Diseases (ICD) maintained by the World Health Organization (WHO) only matters because medical research and development is heavily regulated. Since aging isn't classified as a disease, there is no clear roadmap to obtaining regulatory approval to treat aging with a working rejuvenation therapy, and therefore no investor is willing to commit to funding that work. What happens instead is that the range of biotech companies presently working to produce age-slowing and rejuvenating therapies pick a specific age-related disease to start wi...

Sunday Sermonette: Mashup
Chapter 11 begins with material from 2 Samuel 5, when David becomes king; then basically skips ahead to material from 2 Samuel 23, toward the end of David ' s life, describing David ' s " might men, " after interpolating a couple of tidbits from the material in between. The previous chapter, as we have seen, was essentially a reproduction of 1 Samuel 28, but with a substituted moral. Saul ' s downfall was not because he failed to carry out God ' s command to exterminate the Amelekites, it was because he consulted a necromancer. This makes sense because by the time of the Chronicler, in the Second Temple period, God was no ...

What is inappropriate sinus tachycardia? Cardiology Basics
Inappropriate sinus tachycardia (IST) is sinus tachycardia inappropriate to the situation. It is defined as sinus rates above 100 beats per minute at rest or average sinus rate above 90 beats per minute over 24 hours without an underlying cause.

Warning Signs That You are Not in Control of Your Life
Losing control and no longer feeling like we are in any position of power regarding our lives is terrifying, yet common. Sometimes we feel like we are simply bystanders, getting carried away by the overwhelming circumstances that constantly leave us powerless.
We might feel like everything else is controlling us, whether it’s a job, a relationship, or a friend. How do we gain our sense of control back?
Being in control of our own life, means being in charge of the aspects of it. Obviously, we cannot be ahead of everything.
We can only change how we react, how we th...

“Beyond Nicotine”: Tobacco Joins Hands With Pharma.
BY MIKE MAGEE
Connecticut attorney general, William Tong, took a turn in the spotlight this week, representing 33 states and Puerto Rico in announcing that vaping original, Juul, had agreed to pay penalties of $438.5 million to settle lawsuits against the company.
Juul in essence acknowledged that the company’s marketers had targeted young students, used social media to attract underage teens, and had given them free samples. With 45% of the company’s Twitter followers between ages 13 and 17, and an age verification methodology authorities label as “porous”, they were happy to get the nation’s attorney gene...

Conclusion
Coupled with the animal data, and the existing human trial data for safety, the results here suggests that someone should run a formal, controlled trial of flagellin immunization in older people, 65 and over. The goal would be to see whether (a) this sort of outcome holds up in a larger group of people, and (b) there is a meaningful impact on chronic inflammation and other parameters of health that are known to be affected by the aging of the gut microbiome.
The most interesting part of the data is perhaps the decline in microbial diversity, when considered against the gains elsewhere. Microbial dive...
