The further I get into a daily regimen of eating broccoli sprouts for ten weeks, the more I appreciate “Effects of long-term consumption of broccoli sprouts on inflammatory markers in overweight subjects.” “This study represents an advance in intervention studies as the broccoli sprouts were included in a daily dietary pattern in quantities that reflect … Continue reading Our model clinical trial for Changing to a youthful phenotype with broccoli sprouts

Reversal of aging and immunosenescent trends with sulforaphane

gettingwell4 4-5 stars Advanced knowledge, Epigenetics, Immune system, Memory, Stress ,

Sulforaphane research findings have commonalities with a super informative presentation by the lead researcher of clinical trial Reversal of aging and immunosenescent trends. I did a PubMed search of sulforaphane and each presentation topic, and used a 1/1/2015 publication date cutoff. Presentation topics through the first 13 minutes were: Thymus – no recent sulforaphane studies … Continue reading Reversal of aging and immunosenescent trends with sulforaphane

A rejuvenation therapy and sulforaphane focused on the study’s clinical biomarkers and not its biological age measurements. This Part 2 curation of the study highlights its epigenetic clocks because: “While clinical biomarkers have obvious advantages (being indicative of organ dysfunction or disease), they are neither sufficiently mechanistic nor proximal to fundamental mechanisms of aging to … Continue reading Part 2 of Rejuvenation therapy and sulforaphane

To follow up A rejuvenation therapy and sulforaphane, the study’s lead laboratory researcher – Dr. Harold Katcher – provided evidence for an environmental signaling paradigm of aging in this 2015 paper: “The age-phenotype of a cell or organ depends on its environment and not its history. Organ dysfunction is not the cause of aging, but … Continue reading An environmental signaling paradigm of aging

This 2020 Australian/UK review subject was AGEs: “AGEs are formed during cooking and food processing or produced endogenously as a consequence of metabolism. The deleterious effects of AGEs are underpinned by their ability to trigger mechanisms well known to elicit metabolic dysfunction, including the activation of inflammatory pathways, oxidative stress and impaired mitochondrial oxidative metabolism. … Continue reading Broccoli sprouts oppose effects of advanced glycation end products (AGEs)
