Pregnancy outcomes are influenced by maternal distress but the pathways underlying these effects still unknown. Mitochondria, crucial for stress adaptation and energy production, may link psychosocial to its biological effects, especially during pregnancy when demands significantly increase. This study explores two mitochondrial markers-circulating cell-free DNA (cf-mtDNA) Growth Differentiation Factor-15 (GDF15)-as potential health indicators linking in longitudinal studies from USA Turkey.

Highlights•Physical activity helps protect against age-related decline in physical performance•Physical boosts mitochondrial energetics while aging per se has no impact•Mitochondrial ROS production is unaffected by both active and inactive men•Mitochondrial calcium handling declines with age linked to muscle performanceSummaryAging-related atrophy weakness contribute loss of mobility, falls, disability. Mitochondrial dysfunction widely considered a key contributing mechanism aging. However, mounting evidence positions as confounding factor, making unclear whether mitochondria accumulate bona fide defects To disentangle from activity-related adaptations, we functionally profiled skeletal 51 88 men aged 20–93. Physical status confers partial protection performance. respiration remains unaltered participants, indicating that does not alter respiratory capacity. reactive oxygen species (ROS) higher participants. In contrast, retention capacity decreases regardless correlates mass, performance, the stress-responsive metabokine/mitokine growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF15). Targeting may hold promise for treating aging-related impairments.Graphical abstract

Growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF15) is a biomarker of energetic stress related to aging, disease, and mitochondrial defects. We recently showed that GDF15 quantifiable in saliva acutely inducible by psychosocial stress. To date, the associations between biopsychosocial factors individual characteristics remain unknown. Here, sample healthy working adults ( n = 198, 70% females), we first confirmed salivary reacts acute stress, peaking 10 min following socio-evaluative paradigm (+28.3%, g 0.50, p < 0.0001). then explored i) baseline ii) reactivity variety trait- state-level including sex gender characteristics; measures mental health, burnout; physical health behaviors; anthropometric blood-based metabolic biomarkers. Baseline was higher men than women positively correlated with testosterone, while negatively estrogen traditionally feminine roles. Of examined, found work-related variables were most consistently GDF15, cynicism, burnout, emotional exhaustion predicting reactivity, job-related autonomy utilization competence predicted smaller responses. Consistent GDF15's induction renal diseases, also indirect markers disease waist-to-hip ratio, creatinine, albumin. Finally, participants greater exhibited cortisol consistent role regulation energy mobilization. Together, this exploratory analysis suggest new biological correlates, calling for large-scale studies connecting human experiences

Aging-related muscle atrophy and weakness contribute to loss of mobility, falls disability. Mitochondrial dysfunction is widely considered a key contributing mechanism aging. However, mounting evidence position physical activity as confounding factor, making unclear whether mitochondria accumulate bona fide defects with To disentangle aging from activity-related mitochondrial adaptations, we functionally profiled skeletal in 51 inactive 88 active men aged 20-93. Physical status conferred partial protection against age-related decline performance. A trend for reduced respiration was observed but not participants, indicating that per se does alter respiratory capacity. reactive oxygen species (ROS) production unaffected by participants displayed higher ROS production. In contrast, calcium retention capacity decreased regardless correlated mass, performance the stress-responsive metabokine GDF15. Targeting handling may hold promise treating aging-related impairments.
