Glycanage - does rapamycin reduce it? 17 alpha estradiol? Or N-acetyl-D-mannosamine (ManNAc, sialic acid precursor)?

It’s not correlated with blood epigenetic stuff

Sialic acid supplements…

This may be the only feedback loop against nut binges (for now)

This is also a strong feedback loop for 17ae…
There have been glycanage age reductions of 37 years (with someone who has a very special-ish diet).

It’s not the best indication of aging, but it is something

N-acetyl-D-mannosamine (ManNAc, sialic acid precursor) is another way to supplement. But CR seems to increase sialytion (gah waiting for my SLG)

Compared with IgG from control chow-fed mice, IgG from HFD-fed mice was hyposialylated, and it raised BP when transferred to recipients lacking IgG; the hypertensive response was absent if recipients were FcγRIIB-deficient. Neuraminidase-treated IgG lacking the Fc glycan terminal sialic acid also raised BP. In cultured endothelial cells, via FcγRIIB, IgG from HFD-fed mice and neuraminidase-treated IgG inhibited vascular endothelial growth factor activation of endothelial NO synthase by altering endothelial NO synthase phosphorylation. In humans, obesity was associated with lower IgG sialylation, and systolic BP was inversely related to IgG sialylation. Mice deficient in FcγRIIB in endothelium were protected from obesity-induced hypertension. Furthermore, in HFD-fed mice, ManNAc normalized IgG sialylation and prevented obesity-induced hypertension.

Nut binges might cause hyposialyation…

Why are you worried about binging on beyond burgers or nuts? There is very little evidence that junk food is harmful, in general, except for some specific contents of junk.

Glycans integrate genetic, epigenetic and environmental information into chemical structures that can be reliably quantified. By analysing over 200,000 people we have only started to tap into this huge reservoir of information, but we are already seeing some fascinating things.
For example, composition of the IgG glycome predicts biological sex nearly 100%. It also contains very accurate information about serum albumin and calcium levels, and a bit less accurate about HbA1c. (and the figure shows the validation cohort, not the one used to train the model)
We still do not understand why and how these factors have so strong effect on the IgG glycome composition. Most probably there is some shared confounder (biological age?), but we will have to add glycomics to many more studies to be able to understand it…
