The effect of fasting or calorie restriction on autophagy induction: A review of the literature
Abstract Autophagy is a lysosomal degradation process and protective housekeeping mechanism to eliminate damaged organelles, long-lived misfolded proteins and invading pathogens. Autophagy functions to recycle building blocks and energy for cellular renovation and...Impact of intermittent fasting on health and disease processes
Abstract Humans in modern societies typically consume food at least three times daily, while laboratory animals are fed ad libitum. Overconsumption of food with such eating patterns often leads to metabolic morbidities (insulin resistance, excessive accumulation of...Clinical Trial – Angiogenesis Induced in the Elderly by Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
Recent studies show preliminary evidence of HBOT therapeutic effects on angiogenesis,
increased tissue blood flow and oxygenation correlated with tissue function.
Our primary hypothesis is that HBOT will have beneficial effects on the above mentioned
organs associated with aging-related malfunctions due to restored mitochondrial function,
mobilization of stem cells and induction of angiogenesis.
