Recent Longevity News for the seven days ending
7/21/10. You should consult your doctor if you are taking any medications.
Probiotics use in mothers limits eczema in their babies - Science Daily,
7/20/10 - "compared mothers who drank one glass of
probiotic milk a day to women who were given a
placebo. Use of the probiotic milk -- which the mothers drank beginning at week
36 in their pregnancy up through to three
months after birth -- reduced the incidence of eczema
by 40 percent in children up to age two, the researchers found"
Widely
used chemicals linked to ADHD in children - Science Daily, 7/20/10 -
"PFCs are highly stable compounds used in industrial and
commercial products like stain-resistance coatings, food packaging, and
fire-fighting foams. In a 2003-2004 survey, NHANES examined 2,094 blood samples
taken from the U.S. population and found more than 98 percent of the sample had
detectable serum levels of PFCs, according to the study. Once absorbed into the
body, it can take years for some types of PFCs to be partially eliminated ...
children with this outcome tend to have higher levels of PFCs in their blood."
Because the PFC measurements were collected at the same time as the parental
report of ADHD diagnosis, Hoffman said it is
unknown whether children with ADHD engage in behavior leading to increased PFC
exposure or if higher serum PFC levels in children result in ADHD"
Prolonged mobile phone use may be linked to tinnitus - Science Daily,
7/20/10 - "Regularly using a
mobile phone for at least four years seems to be associated with a doubling
in the risk of developing chronic tinnitus"
Natural
substance NT-020 aids aging brains in rats, study finds - Science Daily,
7/20/10 - "Aging has been linked to oxidative stress,
and we have previously shown that natural compounds made from
blueberries,
green tea, and amino acids, such as carnosine,
are high in antioxidants and have
anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative
activity .... The combination of these nutrients, called NT-020, creates a
synergistic effect that promotes the proliferation of stem cells in the aged
animals ... NT-020 may have not only a positive effect on the stem cell niche
... NT-020 may have far-reaching effects on organ function beyond the
replacement of injured cells, as demonstrated by
cognitive improvement in the NT-020 group"
-
Nutrient blend improves function of aging brain: rat study - Nutra USA,
7/21/10 - "NT-020 is a combination of blueberry,
green tea extract, carnosine and vitamin D3 ... The NT-020 group
demonstrated increased adult neural stem cell proliferation in the two main
stem cell niches in the brains and improvement in learning and memory"
Of bugs
and brains: Gut bacteria affect multiple sclerosis - Science Daily, 7/20/10
-
"This study shows for the first time that specific
intestinal bacteria have a significant role in affecting the nervous system
during MS -- and they do so from the gut, an anatomical location very, very far
from the brain ... Perhaps treatments for diseases such as
multiple sclerosis
may someday include
probiotic bacteria
that can restore normal immune function in the gut… and the brain"
Painters
at significantly increased risk of bladder cancer, study finds - Science
Daily, 7/19/10 - "Painters are at significantly
increased risk of developing bladder cancer
... plasterers, glaziers, wallpaper hangers, artists and decorators were
classified as "painters" in some studies"
Do
cleaning products cause breast cancer? - Science Daily, 7/20/10 -
"Women who reported the highest combined cleaning
product use had a doubled risk of breast cancer compared to those with the
lowest reported use. Use of air fresheners and products for mold and mildew
control were associated with increased risk. To our knowledge, this is the first
published report on cleaning product use and risk of breast cancer" -
Note: Being exposed to chemicals is unavoidable for most people but one of
my pet peeves is people that go out of their way to add them such as fabric
softeners, that junk they add to the dryer that claim your clothes get softer
(they both have a cheap scent that annoying to many), using scented laundry
detergent (Tide make a fragrance/color free/dermatologist tested), fragrant
candles, fragrant plug-in devices, etc. I remember several years ago CNN
did a segment on chemicals and they did a blood test on the reporter as part of
the segment and he had something like a 100 of these chemical in his blood.
Many were from the makeup used before the camera.
Fitness, Fatness, and Blood Pressure - Medscape, 7/19/10 -
"In this cohort, consisting mainly of white men (average
age, 46 years), normal-weight individuals had a mean systolic
blood pressure 12 mm Hg lower than obese
individuals (115 vs 127 mm Hg, p<0.001). In contrast, individuals with high
levels of fitness, those in the highest quartile, had a 6 mm Hg lower systolic
blood pressure than those least fit (119 vs 125 mm Hg, p<0.001)"
Probiotics in pregnancy could have diabetes benefits: Study - Nutra USA,
7/16/10 - "those women who had taken
probiotics had a reduced frequency of gestational
diabetes mellitus (GDM): 13 percent for the diet/probiotics group, compared to
36 percent for the diet/placebo group and 34 percent for the control group ...
In addition, the dietary counseling during pregnancy reduced the risk of fetal
overgrowth, which is thought to predispose to later obesity" - [Abstract]

Those
who exercise when young have stronger bones when they grow old - 5/3/10 -
"those who actively did sports, and also those who used
to do sports, had greater bone density than those who had never done sports ...
men who had stopped training more than six years ago still had larger and
thicker bones in the lower leg than those who had never done sport ... The bones
respond best when you're young, and if you train and load them with your own
bodyweight during these years, it has a stimulating effect on their development"
- Note: That date says 5/3/10 but showed up on 7/15/10. If it was
published on the earlier date I would have picked it up then.

Nutrition
and aging skin: sugar and glycation - Clin Dermatol. 2010
Jul-Aug;28(4):409-11 - "The effect of
sugars on aging
skin is governed by the simple act of covalently cross-linking two collagen
fibers, which renders both of them incapable of easy repair. Glucose and
fructose link the amino acids present in the collagen and elastin that support
the dermis, producing
advanced glycation end products or "AGEs." This process is accelerated in
all body tissues when sugar is elevated and is further stimulated by ultraviolet
light in the skin. The effect on vascular, renal, retinal, coronary, and
cutaneous tissues is being defined, as are methods of reducing the glycation
load through careful diet and use of supplements"
Effects of
Vitamin D Supplementation on Blood Pressure - South Med J. 2010 Jul 8 -
"From 244 retrieved papers, four RCTs involving 429
participants met our inclusion criteria for this meta-analysis.
Vitamin D supplementation reduced systolic
blood pressure (SBP) by 2.44 mm Hg (weighted mean difference [WMD]: -2.44,
95% confidence interval [CI]: -4.86, -0.02), but not diastolic blood pressure
(DBP) (WMD: -0.02, 95% CI: -4.04, 4.01) compared with calcium or placebo.
Subgroup analysis suggested that the change of blood pressure did not vary
markedly across the dose of vitamin D supplementation, study length, or
intervention. CONCLUSIONS:: Oral vitamin D supplementation may lead to a
reduction in systolic blood pressure but not diastolic blood pressure" -

Impact of maternal probiotic-supplemented dietary counselling on pregnancy
outcome and prenatal and postnatal growth: a double-blind, placebo-controlled
study - Br J Nutr. 2010 Jun;103(12):1792-9 -
"Firstly,
probiotic intervention reduced the frequency of
gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM); 13 % (diet/probiotics) v. 36 %
(diet/placebo) and 34 % (control); P = 0.003. Secondly, the safety of this
approach was attested by normal duration of
pregnancies with no adverse events in mothers or children. No significant
differences in prenatal or postnatal growth rates among the study groups were
detected. Thirdly, distinctive effects of the two interventions were detected;
probiotic intervention reduced the risk of GDM and dietary intervention
diminished the risk of larger birth size in affected cases; P = 0.035 for birth
weight and P = 0.028 for birth length. The results of the present study show
that probiotic-supplemented perinatal dietary counselling could be a safe and
cost-effective tool in addressing the metabolic epidemic. In view of the fact
that birth size is a risk marker for later obesity, the present results are of
significance for public health in demonstrating that this risk is modifiable"

Curcumin
promotes apoptosis in A549/DDP multidrug-resistant human lung adenocarcinoma
cells through an miRNA signaling pathway - Biochem Biophys Res Commun. 2010
Jul 10 - "Curcumin
extracted from the rhizomes of C. longa L has been shown to have inhibitory
effects on cancers through its anti-proliferative and pro-apoptotic activities.
Emerging evidence demonstrates that curcumin can overcome drug resistance to
classical chemotherapies. Thus, the mechanisms underlying the antitumor
activities of curcumin require further study. In our study, we first
demonstrated that curcumin had anti-cancer effects on A549/DDP
multidrug-resistant human lung adenocarcinoma cells. Further studies showed that
curcumin altered miRNA expression; in particular, significantly downregulated
the expression of miR-186 * in A549/DDP. In addition, transfection of cells with
a miR-186 * inhibitor promoted A549/DDP apoptosis, and overexpression of miR-186
* significantly inhibited curcumin-induced apoptosis in A549/DDP cells. These
observations suggest that miR-186 * may serve as a potential gene therapy target
for refractory lung cancer that is sensitive
to curcumin" - See

Egg
consumption and CHD and stroke mortality: a prospective study of US adults -
Public Health Nutr. 2010 Jul 16:1-10 - "'high' egg
consumption (>/=7 times/week v. <1 time/week) was not associated with
significantly increased CHD
mortality (HR = 1.13, 95 % CI 0.61, 2.11 (men);
HR = 0.92, 95 % CI 0.27, 3.11 (women)). There was a statistically significant
inverse association between 'high' egg consumption and
stroke mortality among men (HR = 0.27, 95 % CI
0.10, 0.73), but the estimate was imprecise because of sparse data. We did not
observe a statistically significant positive association between 'high' egg
consumption and CHD or stroke mortality in analyses restricted to individuals
with diabetes, but these analyses may be limited due to the small number of
diabetics. CONCLUSIONS: We did not find a significant positive association
between egg consumption and increased risk of mortality from CHD or stroke in
the US population. These results corroborate the findings of previous studies"
Intake of
Fish and n-3 Fatty Acids and Future Risk of Metabolic Syndrome - J Am Diet
Assoc. 2010 Jul;110(7):1018-1026 - "After controlling
for potential cardiovascular risk factors, multivariate OR for
metabolic syndrome was 0.43 (95% CI 0.23 to 0.83) for men who ate fish daily
when compared with those eating fish less than once a week. Similarly, metabolic
syndrome risk was halved for men in the top decile of
n-3 fatty acid intake when compared with those in the bottom decile (OR
0.53, 95% CI 0.28 to 0.99). In particular, fish intake was significantly
associated with triglyceride level and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol
level among the metabolic syndrome components. For women, apparent associations
were not observed between fish intake or n-3 fatty acid intake and metabolic
syndrome risk. CONCLUSIONS: In a prospective study, high consumption of fish and
n-3 fatty acids was significantly associated with a lower risk of metabolic
syndrome among men, but not among women. Whether or not encouraging fish intake
can help prevent the development of metabolic syndrome warrants further studies"

Vitamin d
and risk of cognitive decline in elderly persons - Arch Intern Med. 2010 Jul
12;170(13):1135-41 - "The multivariate adjusted relative
risk (95% confidence interval [CI]) of substantial cognitive decline on the MMSE
in participants who were severely serum 25(OH)D
deficient (levels <25 nmol/L) in comparison with those with sufficient levels of
25(OH)D (>/=75 nmol/L) was 1.60 (95% CI, 1.19-2.00). Multivariate adjusted
random-effects models demonstrated that the scores of participants who were
severely 25(OH)D deficient declined by an additional 0.3 MMSE points per year
more than those with sufficient levels of 25(OH)D. The relative risk for
substantial decline on Trail-Making Test B was 1.31 (95% CI, 1.03-1.51) among
those who were severely 25(OH)D deficient compared with those with sufficient
levels of 25(OH)D. No significant association was observed for Trail-Making Test
A. CONCLUSION: Low levels of vitamin D were associated with substantial
cognitive decline in the elderly population studied over a 6-year period,
which raises important new possibilities for treatment and prevention" -

Folic acid
supplementation may cure hot flushes in postmenopausal women: a prospective
cohort study - Gynecol Endocrinol. 2010 Mar 16 - "To
examine the effect of folic acid supplementation on the occurrence of hot
flushes and the plasma level of 3-methoxy 4-hydroxy phenyl glycol (MHPG, the
main metabolite of brain norepinephrine) ... The number of women who reported
improvement in hot flushes was significantly higher in the treatment group. On
comparing the mean plasma levels of MHPG before and after treatment, a
significant lowering was found in the treatment group (mean % change =-24.1 +/-
17.9, p < 0.001) when compared with the placebo-control group (mean % change
=-5.59 +/- 16.4, p = 0.10). In the treatment group, there was a significant

Omega-3 Fatty Acids Ease Depressive Symptoms Related To Menopause -
Science Daily, 1/28/09 - "Their study, published in
the February issue of The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, presents
the first evidence that omega-3 supplements are effective for treating
common menopause-related mental health problems ... Test results before and
after the eight-week period indicate that omega-3s significantly improved
the condition of women suffering symptoms of psychological distress and mild
depression ... Women with hot flashes also noted that their condition
improved after consuming omega-3s. At baseline, the number of daily hot
flashes was 2.8 and dropped by an average of 1.6 in the group taking
omega-3s and by 0.5 in the control group"

Genistein Safely Improves Bone Formation in Osteopenic, Postmenopausal Women
- Medscape, 1/14/09 - "Usually, the drugs used in
the management of osteopenia/osteoporosis have been classified as
predominantly 'antiresorptive agents' or as 'bone-forming agents' but, on
the basis of our results, genistein might represent the first therapy that
overcomes this classification by combining a powerful bone-forming as well
as an antiresorptive activity ... All postmenopausal women with bone loss
would be ideal candidates for genistein aglycone treatment ... Genistein
aglycone has a good safety profile, and in addition it is effective against
climacteric syndrome (i.e., hot flushes and night sweats)"

placebo-controlled, randomized clinical trial - Menopause. 2008 Nov 20 -
"At baseline, the average number of HFs was 2.8 per
day. After 8 weeks, HF frequency and score decreased significantly in the
E-EPA group compared with the placebo group. There was no difference in the
change in HF intensity between groups. Frequency of HFs declined by a mean
of 1.58 per day (95% CI, -2.18 to -0.98) in the E-EPA group and by 0.50 per
day (95% CI, -1.20 to 0.20) in the placebo group. The odds of being a
responder among those taking E-EPA were about three times greater than among
those taking placebo (odds ratio, 2.70; 95% CI, 1.03-7.03; P = 0.04).
Menopause-Specific Quality of Life scores improved significantly over time
in both groups but no significant differences were noted between them"

Black Cohosh May Reduce Hot Flashes By Targeting Brain's Thermostat -
Intelihealth, 9/9/03 -
"black cohosh does not
appear to be estrogenic whatsoever and, as a result, is less likely to pose
some of the dangers associated with traditional estrogen replacement therapy
... Although preliminary evidence of the herb's efficacy in relieving hot
flashes, night sweats and other symptoms of menopause is encouraging,
further studies are still needed before it can be recommended ... the
researchers also demonstrated that the black cohosh extract is capable of
binding to human serotonin receptors, including those that help regulate
body temperature. Previous studies have shown that these receptors may play
a role in regulating hot flashes. Antidepressant medications, which some
people believe may help reduce hot flashes, also bind to the same receptors"
