Obesity and aging have divergent genomic fingerprints

Aging is associated with increased visceral fat, and recent studies
suggested that in turn, visceral fat could influence longevity. We
therefore tested whether obesity could be a condition of premature
aging. Whole-genome microarray analysis of gene expression between obese
mice, aged mice and their respective controls, revealed that long-term
adaptations in gene expression in visceral fat upon aging are different
from those occurring during fat accretion in young adult animals,
suggesting specific, divergent and non overlapping pathways of
regulation.

This
supplement of Family Practice presents the papers from the Fifth Heelsum International Workshop on Nutritional Attitudes and
Practices in General Practice(*).These papers are directed to the objective of the
2007 workshop, namely ‘more synergy between primary care and public

Title: Influence of
the placebo effect on oxidative stress in healthy older adults of Mexico
City Manuscript Number: FAMPR-218-07 Submission Date: 13-Aug-2007

The study carried out a double-blind
controlled clinical assay with the participation of 75 healthy older
adults residents for the past 10 years of Mexico City. Results. Placebo
Group subjects showed a statistically significant decreased in LPO
concentration, likewise than Treatment Group that received antioxidant
therapy, both in comparison with Control Group. (The paper was rejected
publication).
