Background:T his study represents the second part of a 2-year interventional in middle-aged /elderly healthy subjects treated either with an antioxidant supplementation (200mg trans-resveratrol, 100mg Centella asiatica extract, 80mg ubiquinol, 50mg epigallo-cathechin-gallate, 20 mg anthocyanidins, 5mg zinc, and 200 IU vitamin E) or proprietary fermented papaya preparation (FPP). The choice was based on over 12 years experimental clinical data proving its effectiveness redox immune regulation. aim this to complete 24-month investigation potential beneficial effect functional food key age-related system parameters.Methods: Study population: From total 106 subjects, we analyzed collected from ninety-eight clinically stable, community dwelling males females aged 58 76 years. followed double-blind methodology involving two groups, A B. Group received FPP® 4.5 grams, one sachet twice day, coupled placebo capsule morning. Meanwhile, B administered papaya-flavored additional mixture morning, referred as AA group. Morning blood samples were tested for: Asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA), apoptosis PBMCs including Neutrophil-Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR) after months, i.e. corresponding 24 months (Visit VI initial protocol). Results: As compared first preliminary published year study, further 12-month enabled more comprehensive analysis significant increase overweight (≥25 ≤29.9 kg/m2) (58 vs 31, P<0.05). On mark, AA-group showed NLR (P<0.05 entry level FPP group), whereas FPP-group maintained stable value.

The circadian rhythms generated by the master biological clock located in brain's hypothalamus influence central physiological processes. At molecular level, a core set of genes interact to form transcription-translation feedback loops that provide basis rhythm. In animal models disease, desynchronization peripheral tissues with has been detected. Interestingly, patients vascular dementia have sleep disorders and irregular patterns. These alterations impact hormonal levels, cardiovascular health (including blood pressure regulation vessel function), pattern expression activity antioxidant enzymes. Additionally, oxidative stress can arise from ischemia-reperfusion injury, amyloid-beta production, abnormal phosphorylation tau protein, neurotransmitters, among others. Several signaling pathways are involved pathogenesis dementia. While precise mechanisms linking still being studied, there is evidence suggest maintaining healthy patterns supporting proper rhythm function may be important for reducing risk Here, we reviewed main action targets related cycle
