Andropause in the cores begins earlier
In men with impaired cardiac function, the early onset of andropause syndrome (up to 50-60 years old) is four times more common than in those who do not suffer from heart disease.
30.05.2013In men with impaired cardiac function, the early onset of andropause syndrome (up to 50-60 years old) is four times more common than in those who do not suffer from heart disease.
30.05.2013The introduction of TSPO (translocator protein, carrier protein) ligands significantly mitigated pathological phenomena in old mice with Alzheimer's disease model and improved animal memory.
24.05.2013So far, experiments are being conducted only on mice, but there is hope that children with progeria can be cured by turning off just one enzyme. Studies of this disease and methods of combating it can become the basis for solving the problem of normal aging.
17.05.2013The parkin protein increases the lifespan of fruit flies, ridding cells of biochemical "garbage".
13.05.2013Improving preventive measures and medical care reduces the risk of developing senile dementia, but you should not relax, since the number of such patients will grow along with an increase in life expectancy.
22.04.2013Contrary to the generally accepted opinion, it turned out that with age, the rate of formation of new and disappearance of existing synapses between brain neurons does not decrease, but increases, and the size of synapses changes more than in the brains of young animals.
19.04.2013Mutations in the ATRX gene, which is necessary for telomere replication, cause cognitive impairment, developmental abnormalities and increase the likelihood of developing brain cancer. Researchers from the University of Western Ontario have uncovered the mechanism of this pathology.
10.04.2013The number of transposons ("jumping genes") and their activity in the brain of fruit flies increases with age and correlates with the severity of neurodegeneration. It remains to find out what is the cause and what is the effect.
10.04.2013Variants of the structure of genes that determine the rate of "biological aging" – telomere shortening – are associated with the risk of developing age-related diseases, including several types of cancer, cardiovascular and some other diseases.
08.04.2013Older age is a time of summing up, rethinking and realizing the path traveled. To give up privacy is like giving up your "I", from the years you have lived.
02.04.2013The lack of contact with family, loved ones and society as a whole increases morbidity and mortality rates among the elderly, regardless of the subjective feeling of loneliness.
29.03.2013Analysis of the protein and genetic profile of aging muscle tissue showed that exercise does not slow down the aging process, and 25% of people are generally unable to build muscle regardless of their persistence and severity of training.
26.03.2013The brain tissue of elderly people, as well as children with autism, is characterized by low levels of the mRNA enzyme methionine synthase, one of the main regulators of metabolism, the activity of which is blocked by oxidative stress.
07.03.2013A simple questionnaire will help doctors assess the medical risks affecting the life expectancy of their elderly patients and improve the quality of medical care for this age group.
06.03.2013Neurons don't have their own biological clock that tells them it's time to die–the whole body serves them as such a clock. By influencing the environment of nerve cells, you can prolong their life without fear of disrupting their work.
28.02.2013As hematopoietic cells age, changes in the epigenome – the system that regulates gene expression – disrupt their work, which leads to a weakening of immunity, anemia and an increased risk of developing some malignant blood diseases.
20.02.2013In the public consciousness, old age is associated only with decline and incapacity. The reviewed books, which have no analogues in Russian yet, are devoted to the liberation from such prejudices and social stigmata.
14.02.2013The age-related weakening of memory is to blame for the loss of the ability of the middle part of the frontal cortex to generate slow waves of brain activity that provide a person with deep restorative sleep.
29.01.2013Even against the background of deterioration of physical or cognitive functions, aging people indicate that their sense of general well-being improves with age.
18.12.2012The appearance of molecular modifications of genes, known as epigenetic markers, is mainly due to aging, but the diet has a certain influence on the process of their appearance.
