LONG NOTES:

We found a protective effect of Pro-, pre-, and synbiotic supplements  for all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in Americans aged 65 years or older. A total of 1556 participants died during the median 77 months follow-up, and 517 died from cardiovascular disease. Compared with participants without nonfood pro-, pre-, and synbiotics use, nonfood pro-, pre-, and synbiotics use reduces nearly 41% risk of all-cause mortality (hazard ratio 0.59, 95%CI 0.43 to 0.79) and 52% risk of cardiovascular mortality.  Nonfood pro-, pre-, and synbiotics can be a novel, inexpensive, low-risk treatment addition for all-cause and cardiovascular mortality for older individuals.

The impact of sleep on obesity and body composition is well-known, and many studies have shown an association between insufficient or excessive sleep duration and obesity, body fat percentage, and weight gain. However, there is growing evidence of the effects of body composition on sleep and sleep disorders (particularly sleep disordered breathing) through anatomical and physiological mechanisms (nocturnal fluid shift, core body temperature, or diet). Although some research has been conducted on the bidirectional effects of sleep-disordered breathing and body composition, the specific effects of obesity and body composition on sleep and the underlying mechanisms that explain these effects remain unclear. Therefore, this review summarizes the findings on the effects of body composition on sleep and draws conclusions and proposals for future research in this field.

 

Alpha-ketoglutarate as a potent regulator for lifespan and healthspan: Evidences and perspectives. Alpha-Ketoglutarate controls stem pluripotency and self-renewal. Alpha-Ketoglutarate supports fertility in animal models. Alpha-Ketoglutarate is a key metabolite in regulating cancer cell behaviors.

Insights into the Role of Inflammation in the Management of Atherosclerosis

After decades of studies, the understanding of atherosclerosis has evolved dramatically, and inflammation has been recognized as one of the most relevant pillars in all phases of atherosclerotic disease. Nevertheless, only recently, the trial CANTOS, and subsequent outcome studies with colchicine, finally provided proof-of-concept evidence that anti-inflammatory therapies were able to reduce cardiovascular events with no influence on lipid levels.
