Using UK Biobank data from about 182,000 adults, researchers in China and Hong Kong grouped people by their food preferences into three profiles: health-aligned, broad-preference and sweet-tooth. The sweet-tooth group, who rated most foods low except sweets and sugary drinks, had a 79% higher hazard of dementia than the health-aligned group over a median of 13.8 years. Their hazard of Alzheimer… --- ## [Exercise May Offset the Aging Cost of Sitting and Poor Sleep, a French Study Hints](https://www.rapamycin.news/t/exercise-may-offset-the-aging-cost-of-sitting-and-poor-sleep-a-french-study-hints/27293)

Researchers in Toulouse, France, examined how physical activity, sitting time and sleep quality relate, alone and in combination, to five biological aging clocks in 890 adults aged 20 to 102. The clocks were PhenoAge, GrimAge, DunedinPACE, the inflammatory clock iAge, and an intrinsic capacity clock. Activity, sitting and sleep were self-reported by questionnaire.

Cystatin-C has interested me for some time. It is used as a marker of Kidney function and in theory is a better marker than Creatinine. Creatinine has its problems, but it appears so does Cystatin-C. What I found interesting about Cystatin-C is that it is also a signalling molecule whilst Creatinine is a metabolic by product.

A study published in Nature reveals that the life-extending power of cold temperatures is governed by an active, multi-tissue metabolic communication network rather than passive thermodynamic slowing. Exposure to moderate cold triggers body wall muscle in Caenorhabditis elegans to upregulate the rate-limiting enzyme CAT-4, synthesizing dihydrobiopterin (BH2).

Executive Summary ABS-201 is a new experimental hair-loss drug targeting the prolactin receptor (PRLR) rather than DHT. The strongest interpretation is not that prolactin replaces DHT as the cause of androgenetic alopecia (AGA), but that PRLR signaling may be an additional upstream or parallel pathway affecting androgen signaling, hair cycling, and the follicular stem-cell niche.

Commodity plastics have universally been considered chemically inert. This study reveals a profound paradigm shift: when fragmented into microplastics and suspended in pure water, common materials like polyethylene, polypropylene, and polystyrene spontaneously and continuously generate highly reactive hydroxyl radicals. This physicochemical activity is driven purely by water-hydrophobe interact… [Previous page](https://www.rapamycin.news/latest.md?page=3) [Next page](https://www.rapamycin.news/latest.md?page=5)
