Every study begins with a question. A single question often leads to more questions, which leads to questions about whether the outcome can be measured, and on and on. In this case, the question was related to changes in the blood proteome over a lifetime: Is the proteome stable? Is it a series of continuous […]
In the week we took off, I spent my time researching a couple of fascinating studies. We all have different ideas of what’s fun, don’t we? For me, getting to research topics in depth is a refreshing opportunity to learn something new. I’m going to share part of what I learned in the next several […]
The past year has been full of opinions about the COVID-19 virus, the treatments that people claim work, and even the number of deaths from the virus. I mean, people were full of it. And still are. The story I heard most often from a variety of people was that people died from other causes, […]
The statistics on the causes of death in the U.S. always take a year or more to collect because every state and the District of Columbia forwards the death certificates with the cause of death to the National Center for Health Statistics Vital Statistics System for review and compilation. You can see why it would […]
The research confirming the benefit of adequate levels of higher vitamin D (25-hydroxyvitamin D) blood levels keeps growing. In this Memo, I’m going to cover two of the most recent studies, both observational studies; the researchers were able to obtain vitamin D levels from medical records after subjects were admitted with COVID-19 infections. Study One: […]
Tuesday’s study left us with a question: what could explain essential amino acids (EAAs) increasing, or at least preventing, muscle loss after total knee replacement surgery? Fortunately, another study examined those factors by obtaining muscle biopsies and blood before and after surgery. Researchers recruited 41 patients who were having total knee replacement. After randomly assigning […]
As I continue my research into increasing muscle mass for Aging with a Vengeance, I came across some information that I think is important for anybody who’s undergoing knee replacement surgery, and perhaps, any type of joint surgery. I’m going to review two studies and explain why using essential amino acids (EAAs) before and after […]
Obesity is a serious issue in the U.S. and around the world; type 2 diabetes, hypertension, CVD, and other diseases associated with obesity have significant health costs. That’s why a real game changer would be important to help people lose weight and maintain their weight loss. The latest candidate is semaglutide, an anti-diabetic medication used […]
If ever a health headline gets your attention, it’s one that proclaims there’s a better way to lose weight. “A game changer” said one of the principle authors of the study in a news release about the study. The results of any study that suggests “game-changing results” just has to be reviewed, and that’s what […]
In the experiment I told you about on Tuesday, the researchers established that environment—exposure to light, temperature, and other environmental factors—affects the microbiome, including the fungi or mycobiome. The researchers then tested the changes in the mycobiome (the fungus part of the microbiome) after feeding the mice a highly processed diet compared with mice eating […]
