"In this detailed and indispensable guide, Dr Kyriazis also provides realistic and easy-to-follow advice on the prevention of a wide range of age-related problems using a combination of lifestyle guidelines and recommended medication. Today we are all increasingly aware that many facets of the ageing process and many chronic conditions often associated with age, such as stroke, dementia, artthritis and heart disease, are preventable. With this knowledge and the growing realization that we do not need to succumb to many of the problems associated with ageing, an insiatable demand has b"

"Penuaan adalah salah satu faktor resiko signifikan untuk sejumlah penyakit tidak menular degeneratif dan sering bermanifestasi sebagai penyakit kardiovaskular, kognitif dan metabolik. Studi terbaru telah mengidentifikasi peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ co-activator α (PGC-1α) sebagai pengatur utama fungsi mitokondria, yang sering dihubungkan dengan teori penuaan. Karena keterlibatannya dalam metabolisme energy, kegagalan energy akibat puasa mungkin dapat merangsang ekspresi PGC-1α, khususnya pada organ yang aktif secara metabolic seperti hati dan jantung. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menyelidiki manfaat anti-penuaan dari puasa dengan cara menganalisis ekspresi PGC-1α dalam sel hati kelinci yang dipuasakan. Tiga kelompok kelinci yang telah (1) diberi makan secara ad libitum; (2) dipuasakan selama 16 jam (puasa intermiten); (3) dipuasakan selama 40 jam (puasa berkepanjangan). RNA diekstraksi dari jaringan hati kelinci dari masing-masing kelompok. qRT-PCR dilakukan untuk mencari ekspresi relative gen PGC-1α sebagai biomarker anti-penuaan. Terdapat peningkatan signifikan ekspresi relative PGC-1α pada hati kelinci yang dipuasakan dibanding kelinci yang diberi makan ad libitum. Penelitian lebih lanjut yang melibatkan pemantauan kelinci diperlukan untuk mengamati sifat anti-penuaan pada kelinci yang telah dipuasakan dibandingkan kontrol untuk menyimpulkan sebesar apa efek puasa terhadap penundaan penuaan.

Ageing is a significant risk factor for various of non-communicable diseases, often manifesting as cardiovascular, cognitive and metabolic degenerative diseases. Recent studies have identified peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ co-activator α (PGC-1α) as a major regulator of mitochondrial function, a common feature in the many theories of ageing. Due to its involvement in energy metabolism, it is theorised that energetic failures due to fasting may be able to stimulate the expression of PGC-1α. This research aims to investigate anti-ageing benefits of fasting by analysing the expression of PGC-1α in liver cells of fasted rabbits compared to rabbits fed ad libitum. Three groups of rabbits were (1) fed ad libitum; (2) subjected to intermittent (16-hour) fast; and (3) subjected to prolonged (40-hour) fast. RNA was extracted from the liver tissues of the rabbits. The relative expression of PGC-1α mRNA as a biomarker of anti-ageing was analysed by qRT-PCR. There was a significant increase in relative expression of PGC-1α in fasted rabbits than those fed ad libitum. Further research involving the monitoring of the rabbits is needed to observe for anti-ageing traits in fasted rabbits as opposed to the control to conclude the extent of the effect of fasting on delaying ageing."

"Latar belakang: Penuaan merupakan proses yang kompleks, antara lain ditandai oleh deplesi sel punca dan inflamasi kronis. Oleh karena itu, pemberian sel punca mesenkimal (SPM) eksogen tampak menjanjikan untuk mencegah atau mengatasi proses penuaan. SPM diketahui mempunyai kemampuan imunomodulasi, memicu regenerasi, dan dapat berdiferensiasi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui efek pemberian SPM Korda Umbilikalis Manusia (SPM-KUM) pada tikus tua. Metode: Penelitian ini dilakukan pada tahun 2016-2020 di Fakultas Kedokteran Universitas Indonesia dan Fakultas Kedokteran Hewan Institut Pertanian Bogor. Eksperimen dilakukan pada tikus Sprague-Dawley tua betina dan jantan berumur 22-24 bulan. Tikus tua dibagi menjadi dua kelompok, kontrol dan perlakuan. Kelompok perlakuan terdiri dari dua kelompok dosis SPM-KUM yaitu 106 /kg BB (A) dan 107 /kg BB (B). SPM-KUM diberikan secara intravena selama satu tahun dengan interval 3 bulan sedangkan kelompok kontrol diberikan NaCl 0.9%. Efek SPM-KUM pada penuaan dilihat dari kesintasan, berat badan, performa rotarod, parameter stress oksidatif (MDA dan DNA adduct), parameter inflamasi (IL-6 dan TNF-α), telomer, hormon reproduksi (estradiol dan testosteron), dan gambaran histopatologi organ hati dan ginjal. Ekspresi antibodi anti-human juga diperiksa untuk konfirmasi diferensiasi SPM-KUM di jaringan. Di akhir penelitian, tikus muda usia 3-4 bulan digunakan sebagai pembanding. Hasil: Setelah satu tahun, tikus tua mengalami kematian, pemendekan telomer, penurunan performa rotarod, peningkatan kadar MDA, DNA adduct, IL-6 dan TNF-α, peningkatan sel Kupffer di hati serta peningkatan ekspresi lipofuscin, infiltrat inflamasi, dan p53 di hati dan ginjal. Pemberian SPM-KUM pada tikus tua memperbaiki kesintasan terutama pada tikus betina yang diberikan dosis 107 /kg BB. Kelompok tersebut memiliki telomer lebih panjang, performa rotarod lebih baik, IL-6 menurun, dan TNF-α menurun. Pemberian SPM-KUM juga meningkatkan jumlah sel Kupffer di hati dan mengurangi ekspresi lipofuscin di ginjal tanpa mempengaruhi inflamasi dan ekspresi p53 di hati dan ginjal akibat penuaan. Tidak ditemukan ekspresi antibodi terhadap mitokondria manusia di jaringan hati dan ginjal tikus. Kesimpulan: Pemberian SPM-KUM dapat mencegah proses penuaan dengan mempertahankan panjang telomer, menurunkan sitokin pro inflamasi, memperbaiki performa fisik, mengurangi ekspresi lipofuscin terutama di ginjal sehingga memperbaiki kesintasan. Seluruh efek tersebut terutama karena efek parakrin SPM.

Introduction: Ageing is a complex process, which is marked by stem cell depletion and chronic inflammation as the main findings. Therefore, exogenous mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) administration appears to be a promising therapy for preventing or overcoming the ageing process. Furthermore, MSC is known for its immunomodulatory activity, regenerative ability, and differentiation. The present study is aimed to evaluate the effect of human umbilical cord MSC (hUCMSC) on aged rats.

Methods: The study was conducted during 2016-2020 at Faculty of Medicine Universitas Indonesia and Faculty of Veterinary Medicine Bogor Agricultural University. The experiment was conducted on female and male Sprague-Dawley rats of 22-24 months old. Aged rats were divided into control and hUCMSC-treated groups. The hUCMSC-treated groups were divided into two subgroups that received two doses of hUCMSC intravenously, i.e., 106 /kg BW (A) and 107 /kg BW (B), four times a year within three months interval. The control group received normal saline injection. The hUCMSC effect on ageing was evaluated by means of survival, body weight, rotarod performance, oxidative stress parameters (MDA and DNA adduct), pro-inflammatory parameters (IL-6 and TNF-α), telomeres, reproductive hormones (estradiol and testosterone), and histopathological features of liver and kidneys. Anti-human antibodies were also detected to confirm the differentiation of hUCMSC in tissues. At the end of the study, young rats of 3-4 months old were sacrificed as a comparison.

Results: The administration of hUCMSC 107 /kg BB in aged rats could improve survival, especially in female aged rats. This female group had the longest mean telomere length, improved rotarod performance, decreased IL-6 and TNF-α. hUCMSC increased Kupffer cells in liver and reduced lipofuscin expression in kidney without further effect on tissue inflammation and p53 expression. In addition, there was no anti-human mitochondria antibody expression in tissue.

Conclusion: hUCMSC could inhibit the ageing process through telomere length maintenance, pro-inflammatory cytokine suppression, physical performance improvement, followed by increased survival. Those effects were mainly through the paracrine effect of the MSC. "
