Due to that energy they have no trouble exercising all the time. Read the rest of this entry »

Through various types of research, there are many questions about how Sirtuins affect the aging process. There have been papers recently published in Nature which offer information about the biology of aging. These papers though are contradicting each other. One is about the understanding of the biology and the other is about how it can be manipulated with the anti aging procedures offered.

The gene that is being talked about is Sirtuins, and it is often referred to as Sir2. The possibility of increasing Sir2 in the body has been found to increase longevity in various types of research animals. This has gained the attention of scientists as well as people that would love to look younger. There are various clinical studies in the works right now that involve the injections of Sir2 on humans.

It may be possible that individuals with Laron Syndrome are the key to finding a cure for cancer. It is believed that this particular disease, which is quite rare, is the result of a particular gene that is mutated. As a result the person is going to be extremely small in size. It is believed that this particular mutation also prevents their body from cancer or diabetes developing.

The specific genetic mutation involved is the IGF1,and there are high levels of it for individuals with both cancer and diabetes. This information is the result of studies that have occurred with yeast, worms, and mice. The results of such testing have been validated and that is very exciting.

A study that covers a group of very short individuals from Ecuador that have Laron Syndrome have also been at the core of this particular study. The results indicate that the lack of the hormone growth receptor has resulted in these individuals having an extremely low amount of IGF1. They are also resistant to cancer or diabetes.

How long does a chicken live? 2 year, 3 years? They actually live a maximum of five years before passing away. Though amazingly, Nobel prize winner Alexis Carrel was able to keep the cells of one lucky chicken alive for 34 years, that’s nearly 6 times longer than its average life expectancy. Alexis had devised a theory that cells could be kept alive for an infinite amount of time, as long as they are stored in the right conditions. So how was he able to keep these cells alive so long? His method was very simple; through out the duration of the study the chicken cells were left in a container of fresh mineral water. Every two days Alexis exchanged the water in the container with a fresh batch, ensuring that the cells were receiving constant doses of nutrients. Unfortunately, he never got to see the final results of his experiment or how much it has inspired other scientists in his field; Alexis Carrel died 2 years before the end of this study.

How can eating less sugar extend our lives?

Research has recently been done looking at whether high calorie diets might be the main cause of shortened life spans. A recent study was preformed on healthy human cells, starving them of essential sugars to see what sort of a reaction it would have on them. The results showed that cells, which were given less sugar, tended to live longer than those that were fed a normal dosage. Though these findings are substantial, researchers believe that the study is too broad and more control tests should be done. Slowing the aging process may be more complicated than just slowing down the speed at which cells deteriorate. Read the rest of this entry »
