Seniors need copper and iron
This postdescribes is a really nice study out of South Korea that suggests that blood serum copper and iron in the low end of the reference range may be associated with cognitive decline as measured by the the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) We need both copper and iron in our carrier protein ceruloplasmin.
cytochrome C oxidase activity deficiency in aging
The maker of CopperOne has often claimed the role of mitochondria Complex IV in our mitochondria. Can this enzyme complex actually become copper deficient as we age? The answer is yes.
Niacin muscle NAD+
This post started out exploring an NAD+ boosting niacin clinical trial. The thought that if some other group had shown that niacin increases NAD+ we don’t need to prove it. Key enzymes in the NAD salvage pathway play a role in a progressive external opthalmoplegia (PEO) as shown by a niacin clinical trial. Then a second request came in to explore telomeres and the role NAD+ has in controlling telomere length.
nicotinamide dinucleotide riboside
This is a password protected post describing a clinical trial of an Ellysium product to increase NAD+ levels. Each and every assay they used is described in case we want to have an understanding to “talk shop” with companies like KGK science.
Aging, telomeres, hair
This password protected post explores stuff that could be done with a company that measures telomere length as a surrogate for the aging process.
Hair Growth
For an overview of gray hair and a few works on the mitochondria requirement to grow hair, visit the gray hair post. The starting point of this post is Women’s World 8 essential oils for hair growth. The strategy is to do a PubMed search on each and then figure out which phytochemicals are in each and what their receptors are.
Cu(II) and advanced glycation end products
This is an extremely technical post explaining how Copper Two can promote glycation of albumin, an important serum protein. This goes with our story that Copper Two is “toxic copper”
Brain Cu Deficiency and the polyol pathway
The polyol pathway is a two step process that converts glucose to fructose. This post explores how copper deficiency may make intermediates in this pathway worse.These findings have relevance to Alzheimer’s Disease.
