David E. Harrison,Randy Strong,Zelton D Sharp,James F. Nelson,Clinton M. Astle,Kevin Flurkey,Nancy L. Nadon,J. Erby Wilkinson,Krystyna Frenkel,Christy S. Carter,Christy S. Carter,Marco Pahor,Marco Pahor,Martin A. Javors,Elizabeth Fernandez,Richard A. Miller +15 more
TL;DR: It is reported that rapamycin, an inhibitor of the mTOR pathway, extends median and maximal lifespan of both male and female mice when fed beginning at 600 days of age.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular inflammation: underpinnings of aging and age-related diseases.
Hae Young Chung,Matteo Cesari,Stephen D. Anton,Emanuele Marzetti,Silvia Giovannini,Arnold Y. Seo,Christy S. Carter,Byung Pal Yu,Christiaan Leeuwenburgh +8 more
TL;DR: The purpose of this review is to describe the molecular roles of age-related physiological functional declines and the accompanying chronic diseases associated with aging to provide insights into potential interventions that may affect the aging process and reduce age- related diseases, thereby promoting healthy longevity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Relation between use of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors and muscle strength and physical function in older women: an observational study.
Graziano Onder,Graziano Onder,Brenda W.J.H. Penninx,Rajesh Balkrishnan,Linda P. Fried,Paulo H.M. Chaves,Jeff D. Williamson,Christy S. Carter,Mauro Di Bari,Jack M. Guralnik,Marco Pahor +10 more
TL;DR: ACE inhibitor treatment may halt or slow decline in muscle strength in elderly women with hypertension and without CHF, and in never users of antihypertensive drugs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Models of accelerated sarcopenia: critical pieces for solving the puzzle of age-related muscle atrophy.
Thomas W. Buford,Stephen D. Anton,Andrew Judge,Emanuele Marzetti,Stephanie E. Wohlgemuth,Christy S. Carter,Christiaan Leeuwenburgh,Marco Pahor,Todd M. Manini +8 more
TL;DR: This review discusses how factors common to older individuals such as cancer, kidney disease, diabetes, and peripheral artery disease affect systemic and cellular mechanisms that contribute to skeletal muscle atrophy and describes gaps in the literature concerning the role of these factors in accelerating sarcopenia progression.
Journal ArticleDOI
Growth hormone and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) and their influence on cognitive aging.
TL;DR: In rodents, long-term growth hormone/IGF-1 replacement improves learning and memory in aged rats and offers valuable insight into the influence of growth hormone and IGF-1 on neuronal events in the aged mammal.
