The Mitochondrial Integrated Stress Response (ISRmt) in Aging and Longevity โ A Summary
๐ What is the ISRmt?The Integrated Stress Response (ISR) is the bodyโs way of reacting to different types of stress at the cellular level. Specifically, the Mitochondrial Integrated Stress Response (ISRmt) is a defense mechanism triggered inside mitochondria (the energy-producing centers of our cells).When mitochondria experience stressโsuch as damage or dysfunctionโISRmt activates protective processes by…

Type 2 Diabetes and Skeletal Muscle Atrophy Vicious Cycle
Recent studies have highlighted a significant interplay between Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) and skeletal muscle atrophy (SMA), commonly known as sarcopenia. This relationship forms a vicious cycle where each condition exacerbates the other, leading to deteriorated muscle health and impaired glucose metabolism. Understanding this connection is crucial for developing effective management strategies. Key Findings:…
Agmatine for Parkinson’s Disease:
The Neuroprotective Effects of Agmatine on Parkinson’s Disease: Focus on Oxidative Stress, Inflammation and Molecular Mechanisms Agmatine (AGM), a naturally occurring polyamine derived from L-arginine, has shown significant potential for neuroprotection in Parkinson’s Disease (PD) due to its multifaceted biological activities, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-apoptotic effects. … …This review highlights agmatine’s promising therapeutic potential…

Potassium and the Potassium/Sodium Ratio: Electrolytes Matter
Potassium (K) and sodium (Na) are two of the most important electrolytes in the body, playing a crucial role in nerve function, muscle contractions, heart health, and fluid balance. However, the balance between these two mineralsโthe potassium-to-sodium ratio (K/Na ratio)โis just as important as their individual levels. 1. The Importance of PotassiumA. Functions of Potassium…
