Journal of Fungi, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 10(3), С. 215 - 215

Опубликована: Март 14, 2024

Aging is a complex biological process that influenced by both intrinsic and extrinsic factors. Recently, it has been discovered reactive oxygen species can accelerate the aging process, leading to an increased incidence of age-related diseases are characteristic aging. This review aims discuss potential mushrooms as dietary intervention for anti-aging, focusing on their nutritional perspective. Mushrooms contain various bioactive compounds, including carbohydrates, proteins, fungal lipids, phenolic compounds. These compounds have shown promising effectiveness in combating skin diseases. In vitro vivo studies demonstrated treatments with or extracts significantly extend lifespan improve health span. Furthermore, aimed elucidate precise cellular molecular mechanisms action structure–activity relationship mushroom findings provide strong basis further research, human clinical trials investigations, explore benefits real-life anti-aging practices. By exploring effects mushrooms, this valuable insights contribute development broader strategies healthy

Consumption of tea and herbal infusions (THIs) have a long history in traditional medicine cultural practices. The health-promoting benefits attributed to THIs are considered influential factors consumer choices. However, there is limited data on choices attitudes that might interfere with the positive effects associated consumption. aim this study was investigate consumption pattern behavior consumers Portugal, assessing influence socio-demographic selection products practices related these beverages. An online survey conducted, from collected data, 720 responses met were further analyzed. Most respondents female, 74.4%, belonging 40-60 age group (40.6%) medium (47.2%). Green most consumed type among participants, its not only but also Despite that, participants preferred infusions, citronella, chamomile, lemon verbena being types. For certain types age, while other by moderate or heavy consumers. purchased supermarkets, registered trademark brand stores, form bag. Light use bag, medium/heavy indicated forms. Almost half admitted reading information product labels before using after expiry date, one-third them declared paying attention label instructions. This revealed impact as patterns preferences Of concern neglect usage Portuguese emphasizes urgency implementing interventions guide proper promote good ensure quality products.

Soluble Klotho, a Potential Biomarker of Chronic Kidney Disease–Mineral Bone Disorders Involved in Healthy Ageing: Lights and Shadows

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 25(3), С. 1843 - 1843

Опубликована: Фев. 3, 2024

Shortly after the discovery of Klotho, interest grew in its potential role chronic kidney disease (CKD). There are three isoforms Klotho protein: αKlotho, βKlotho and γKlotho. This review will focus on αKlotho due to relevance as a biomarker CKD. is synthesized mainly kidneys, but it can be released into bloodstream urine soluble (sKlotho), which undertakes systemic actions, independently or combination with FGF23. It usually accepted that sKlotho levels reduced early CKD lower might associated main disease–mineral bone disorders (CKD-MBDs): cardiovascular disease. However, results inconsistent, applicability CKD-MBD still matter controversy. Much inconsistency explained low sample numbers, quality clinical studies, lack standardized assays assess consensus processing, especially urine. In recent decades, because our longer life expectancies, prevalence accelerated-ageing diseases, such CKD, has increased. Exercise, social interaction caloric restriction considered key factors for healthy ageing. While exercise seem related higher serum levels, not clear whether influenced by restriction. focuses possible CKD-MBD, highlighting difference between solid knowledge areas requiring further research, including

Association of dietary inflammatory index and dietary oxidative balance score with gastrointestinal cancers in NHANES 2005–2018

BMC Public Health, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 24(1)

Опубликована: Окт. 9, 2024

Gastrointestinal (GI) cancers, including gastric, liver, esophageal, pancreatic, and colorectal represent significant global health burdens. Emerging evidence suggests that dietary patterns, particularly their inflammatory oxidative properties, may influence cancer risk. The Dietary Inflammatory Index (DII) Oxidative Balance Score (DOBS) assess the effects of diets, respectively. This study aims to explore association between DII, DOBS, combined risk GI investigates potential mediating roles serum albumin red cell distribution width (RDW).

Nutrition, Food and Diet in Health and Longevity: We Eat What We Are

Nutrients, Год журнала: 2022, Номер 14(24), С. 5376 - 5376

Опубликована: Дек. 18, 2022

Nutrition generally refers to the macro- and micro-nutrients essential for survival, but we do not simply eat nutrition. Instead, animal- plant-based foods without always being conscious of its nutritional value. Furthermore, various cultural factors influence shape our taste, preferences, taboos practices towards preparing consuming food as a meal diet. Biogerontological understanding ageing has identified one three foundational pillars health survival. Here address issues nutrition, diet by analyzing biological importance including hormetins, discussing claims types food, reviewing general principles healthy dietary patterns, timing, caloric restriction, intermittent fasting. We also present views about need refining approaches strategies future research on incorporating molecular, physiological, personal aspects this crucial pillar health, longevity.

Amyloid beta (Aβ) is a peptide and hallmark of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Emerging evidence suggests that Aβ levels could be influenced by diet. However, the sparse for some nutrients, controversial. The aim this narrative review to gather findings observational clinical trials involving human participants on relationships between nutrients brain status. Some dietary patterns are associated reduced in brain, such as Mediterranean diet, ketogenic diet well low intake saturated fat, high-glycemic-index food, sodium, junk/fast food. Low status was also with higher density lipoproteins (HDL) cholesterol polyunsaturated fatty acids consumption. Data alcohol not conclusive. On contrary, high were related total cholesterol, triglycerides, low-density (LDL) sucrose, fructose.
