Research Explores How Exercise Preserves Physical Fitness During Aging
Publicado em 06 janeiro 2023Get latest articles and stories on Health at LatestLY. Exercise may be the most powerful anti-aging intervention known to science and has been proven to protect against a wide array of diseases. Washington [US], January 6 (ANI): Exercise may be the most powerful anti-aging intervention known to science and has been proven to protect against a wide array of diseases. However, while physical activity can improve health during aging, its beneficial effects inevitably decline. The cellular [...]ver notícia -
How Exercise Preserves Physical Fitness During Aging
Publicado em 06 janeiro 2023Summary: The findings reveal a cellular mechanism that helps improve fitness through exercise and identifies one anti-aging intervention that helps delay the decline that occurs with natural aging. A source: Joslin Diabetes Center Exercise has been proven to protect against a wide range of diseases and may be the most powerful anti-aging agent known to science. However, while physical activity may improve health as we age, its beneficial effects inevitably decline. The cellular [...]ver notícia -
Researchers Shed Light on How Exercise Preserves Physical Fitness During Aging
Publicado em 05 janeiro 2023Newswise from BOSTON “Exercise has been proven to protect against a wide range of diseases and may be the most powerful anti-aging agent known to science. However, while physical activity may improve health as we age, its beneficial effects inevitably decline. The cellular mechanisms underlying the relationship between exercise, fitness and aging remain poorly understood. In an article published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, researchers at the Joslin [...]ver notícia -
Researchers Create Entangled Light Source
Publicado em 04 janeiro 2023Scientists are increasingly eager to learn more about quantum entanglement, which occurs when two or more systems are created or interact in such a way that the quantum states of one cannot be described independently of the quantum states of others. Systems are correlated even when they are separated by a large distance. Interest in studying this kind of phenomena is due to the significant potential of applications in encryption, communications, and quantum computing. The difficulty is that [...]ver notícia -
Researchers analyze performance of bacterium in combating coffee rust
Publicado em 21 dezembro 2022Their research is part basic science, investigating the bacterium's resilience in a hostile environment – coffee leaves – and part biotech, seeing whether the bacterium inhibits the development of a pathogen that causes severe losses to coffee growers. A study supported by FAPESP analyzed the potential of a bacterium for biological control of the fungus Hemileia vastatrix, which causes coffee rust, a major challenge for Brazilian coffee growers. An article on the study is [...]ver notícia -
Research: Blood Donations Track Epidemics’ Progress
Publicado em 21 dezembro 2022An article published in the journal eLife reports a study in which researchers concluded that the proportion of the population previously infected with SARS-CoV-2 (infection-induced seroprevalence) can be estimated using donated blood samples. The findings offer a kind of “portrait” of the first year of the COVID-19 epidemic in Brazil. Their new methodology could also be used to track and evaluate herd immunity to other infectious diseases, the authors say. The usual method for [...]ver notícia -
Religion is not the factor that most influences rejection of evolutionary theory in schools, study says
Publicado em 15 dezembro 2022Religion affects the understanding and acceptance of evolutionary theory by high school students, but social and cultural factors such as nationality, attitudes towards science and household income have a greater influence, according to a study of 5,500 Brazilian and Italian students aged 14-16 years. Article about the study published in the journal PLOS ONE. Participants were asked to agree or disagree with a range of statements regarding the age of the earth, the importance of [...]ver notícia -
Fat around organs more susceptible to severe Covid than fat under skin: Study
Publicado em 07 dezembro 2022Scientists have found that the fat around the liver, intestines and other organs, or visceral fat, contributes more towards severe COVID-19 than does subcutaneous fat, or fat under the skin as in “love handles”, according to a study. Visceral fat is usually considered a risk factor for cardiovascular disease, diabetes and high blood pressure. The researchers at the State University of Campinas (UNICAMP) and the University of Sao Paulo (USP) also found that when visceral [...]ver notícia -
Research links genetic variant to digestive disorders in patients with Chagas disease
Publicado em 05 dezembro 2022Chagas disease, caused by the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma cruzi, affects some 8 million people worldwide. More than a third develop severe heart or digestive problems with a heightened risk of death. The process that leads to this clinical condition is not completely understood. An article published in the journal Biomedicines describes a study led by Brazilian researchers showing that mutations occurred in the mitochondrial genes of patients with Chagas disease megaesophagus, a disorder [...]ver notícia
