Exploration of Gender Differences in Liver Aging
The liver is an important metabolic organ in the body. It participates in central metabolic activities to maintain systemic homeostasis. It is also one of the most vulnerable organs in the process of individual aging. During aging, the volume, blood flow, metabolic capacity and regenerative capacity of the liver decrease. …
Muscle Mass, Quality, and the Menopause: Sex-specific Strategies to Mitigate Sarcopenia in Ageing Populations
Aging causes muscles to often become smaller and weaker resulting in physical frailty and functional impairments, such as difficulty raising from a chair, dressing, and preparing meals. In the UK there is a growing aged population with those >65y expected to increase from 18% of the population in 2016, to …
Follicular Fluid microRNAs in Ovarian Aging and Reproduction
The purpose of this study is to investigate the role of exosomal microRNAs (miRNAs) in follicular fluid (FF) as biomarkers of ovarian aging and predictors of in vitro fertilization (IVF) outcomes. The goal is to identify noninvasive molecular markers that correlate with oocyte quality and reproductive potential, particularly in women …
Metabolic and Functional Consequences of Aging in Health and Disease
Considerable heterogeneity in the aging population has been observed. The exceptional longevity of individuals reaching 100 years old, so-called centenarians may be an example of life-long healthy aging, or added years may be spent in poor health with decreased physical and cognitive functioning. Current knowledge of the aging experience and …
Study of Iron Accumulation Measured in MRI in Non-pathological Aging
To study the correlation between the iron load in brain, measured in MRI, and the age of healthy subjects Secondary objectives are to study the correlations between the iron load in cortical brain regions and (i) the cognitive performances, (ii) markers of aging (MRI, EEG, OCT, biology),and (iii) demographical factors …
Childhood Early Oral Aging Syndrome: Prevalence, Etiological Factors, and Consequences on Occlusion
The Early Oral Aging Syndrome (EOAS) is a broad concept concerning changes in oral health caused by systemic diseases of different origins, which are related to the current lifestyle in the pediatric population. Enamel defects associated with intrinsic and extrinsic factors promote the acceleration of dental structure loss in an …
Uncovering the Cognitive and Neural Mechanisms Underlying Cognitive Time
Time processing, the ability to process and encode temporal information, is essential for cognitive functioning and for a large number of daily life activities. In particular, the processing of durations of several seconds is central to cognition, impaired in several pathologies, and has been associated with cognitive changes with advancing …
A Study of Changes in Thinking Related to Aging and Cancer in Breast Cancer Survivors (TRAC)
The purpose of this study is to look at how differences in cognitive (mental) function develop over time in breast cancer survivors compared to volunteers without a history of cancer (healthy volunteers). Both cancer survivors and healthy volunteers (who are the same age as the cancer survivors) will participate in …
Determination of a Minimal Clinically Important Difference of the "Functional Reach Test" in the Elderly.
The main objective of the study is to determine the Minimal Clinically Important Difference of the "Functional Reach Test" in the Elderly by a statistical method. The first secondary objective of the study is to determine the Minimal Clinically Important Difference by the Anchor method based on a qualitative assessment …
Mechanisms of Anabolic Resistance in Older Humans
The purpose of this research is to understand how chronic inflammation affects muscle function and responses to exercise in older adults.
