Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatments Reverse Cellular Aging Process
A study from Tel Aviv University (TAU) and the Shamir Medical Center in Israel indicates that hyperbaric oxygen treatments (HBOT) in healthy aging adults can reverse the aging of blood cells and essentially reverse the cellular aging process. The researchers found that a unique protocol of treatments with high-pressure oxygenRead
DISCOVERY: Adipose Tissue, a Source of Inflammation that Aggravates COVID-19
While it is understood that obesity is a risk factor for COVID-19 severity, there is new evidence that adipose tissue plays a key role in the aggravation of the virus and the development of a cytokine storm. One of the theories under investigation is that fat cells (adipocytes) act asRead
Neural Pathway IDed Circadian Regulation, Stress and Sleep
A Nagoya University-led research team in Japan has found a new neural pathway that links the circadian regulation, stress, and sleep in in mammals. The team identified a neuron, called the corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) neuron, that becomes excessively active when the mammal is under stress, which could trigger insomnia andRead
Active Vitamin D Levels Are Connected to Gut Microbiome in Male Adults
University of California San Diego researchers and collaborators recently demonstrated in older men that the makeup of a person’s gut microbiome is linked to their levels of active vitamin D. The study results show that active vitamin D levels are connected to gut microbiome, which is important for bone healthRead
