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...

An Age of Metabolomics
Obtaining enormous amounts of data on the human metabolome now costs little. Databases of metabolomic data available for analysis have become vast, and continue to grow. Productive analysis trails far behind the production of data, unfortunately, as is true for all of the omics technologies. In this paper, researchers discuss the present state of metabolomic knowledge in the context of aging, and the path forward to producing useful understanding from this deluge of human data, contributing perhaps to the better development of treatments for aging. Aging is a fundamental part of the human experience, and it has lo...

What is PT-INR monitoring? Cardiology Basics
INR is short for International Normalized Ratio of Prothrombin Time. It is also called PT-INR. The INR monitoring is used to monitor the dosage of vitamin K antagonists like warfarin. Vitamin K antagonists are used for stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation as well as for deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. Non vitamin K oral anticoagulants (NOACs), also known as direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) like dabigatran, rivaroxaban and apixaban do not need INR monitoring. Warfarin is routinely used when there is a mechanical prosthetic valve, to prevent valve thrombosis and thromboembolism. As of now, DOACs are not i...

How is pulmonary embolism treated? Cardiology Basics
Pulmonary embolism is obstruction of pulmonary arteries due to emboli migrating from other parts of the body. It is a potentially life threatening condition if a major branch or multiple branches are obstructed. More emboli can travel to the lungs from the original source and hence pulmonary embolism may worsen later even if the initial episode involves only a small portion of the lungs. So, it is important to treat pulmonary embolism even if it is mild. Treatment options will depend on the severity of the situation. Initial treatment will be with parenteral anticoagulants like heparin or low molecular weight heparin. Aft...
