Combined protein and HMB supplementation resulted in segmental, but not whole-body increases in FFM compared to protein supplementation alone. These findings could explain some of the controversial effects of HMB reported in previous studies and have practical implications for maximizing training-in …

Our findings suggest that HMB has a positive effect on body composition and strength, especially in bedridden or sedentary elderly, due to its anticatabolic properties.

Both regular exercise training and beta-hydroxy-beta-methylbutyrate (HMB) supplementation are shown as effective treatments to delay or reverse frailty and reduce cognitive impairment in older people. However, there is very little evidence on the true benefits of combining both strategies. The aim o …

HMB improves lean muscle mass and preserves muscle strength and function in older people with sarcopenia or frailty.

HMB supplementation is beneficial for improving body composition in older people. However, the effect of HMB supplementation combined with exercise therapy to improve muscle mass is not obvious. Exercise programs need to be designed according to the different physical health of older people.

Life extension in modern society has introduced new concepts regarding such disorders as frailty and sarcopenia, which has been recognized in various studies. At the same time, cutting-edge technology methods, e.g., renal replacement therapy for conditions such as hemodialysis (HD), have made it pos …

Beta-hydroxy-beta-methylbutyrate supplementation contributed to preservation of muscle mass in older adults. HMB supplementation may be useful in the prevention of muscle atrophy induced by bed rest or other factors. Further studies are needed to determine the precise effects of HMB on muscle streng …

By 1980, it was thought that we already knew most of the major mechanisms regulating vascular tone. However, after the somewhat serendipity discovery that endothelium is involved in mediation of relaxation to acetylcholine, a whole new world opened up ...

Nitric oxide (NO) is a well-known vasodilator produced by the vascular endothelium via the enzyme endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS). The inadequate production of NO has been linked to elevated blood pressure (BP) in both human and animal studies, ...

Intravenous administration of arginine was shown to be protective against cerebral ischemic insults via nitric oxide production and possibly via additional mechanisms. The present study aimed at evaluating the neuroprotective effects of oral administration of lysine (a basic amino acid), arginine, and their combination on ischemic insults (cerebral edema and infarction) and hemispheric brain swelling induced by transient middle cerebral artery occlusion/reperfusion in rats. Magnetic resonance imaging and 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride staining were performed 2 days after ischemia induction. In control animals, the major edematous areas were observed in the cerebral cortex and striatum. The volumes associated with cortical edema were significantly reduced by lysine (2.0 g/kg), arginine (0.6 g/kg), or their combined administration (0.6 g/kg each). Protective effects of these amino acids on infarction were comparable to the inhibitory effects on edema formation. Interestingly, these amino acids, even at low dose (0.6 g/kg), were effective to reduce hemispheric brain swelling. Additionally, the effects of in vivo microiontophoretic (juxtaneuronal) applications of these amino acids on glutamate-evoked neuronal activity in the ventromedial hypothalamus were investigated in awake rats. Glutamate-induced neuronal activity was robustly inhibited by microiontophoretic applications of lysine or arginine onto neuronal membranes. Taken together, our results demonstrate the neuropr...

The renewal and repair of intestinal epithelium depend on the self-renewal of intestinal stem cells (ISCs) under physiological and pathological conditions. Although previous work has established that exogenous nutrients regulate adult stem cell activity, ...

Having elevated uric acid indicates high blood pressure. New research demonstrates that lowering uric acid with allopurinol results in lower blood pressure.

Glutathione (GSH) plays an important role in a multitude of cellular processes, including cell differentiation, proliferation, and apoptosis, and as a result, disturbances in GSH homeostasis are implicated in the etiology and/or progression of a number of human diseases, including cancer, diseases of aging, cystic fibrosis, and cardiovascular, inflammatory, immune, metabolic, and neurodegenerative diseases. Owing to the pleiotropic effects of GSH on cell functions, it has been quite difficult to define the role of GSH in the onset and/or the expression of human diseases, although significant progress is being made. GSH levels, turnover rates, and/or oxidation state can be compromised by inherited or acquired defects in the enzymes, transporters, signaling molecules, or transcription factors that are involved in its homeostasis, or from exposure to reactive chemicals or metabolic intermediates. GSH deficiency or a decrease in the GSH/glutathione disulfide ratio manifests itself largely through an increased susceptibility to oxidative stress, and the resulting damage is thought to be involved in diseases, such as cancer, Parkinson's disease, and Alzheimer's disease. In addition, imbalances in GSH levels affect immune system function, and are thought to play a role in the aging process. Just as low intracellular GSH levels decrease cellular antioxidant capacity, elevated GSH levels generally increase antioxidant capacity and resistance to oxidative stress, and this is observed in many cancer cells. The higher GSH levels in some tumor cells are also typically associated with higher levels of GSH-related enzymes and transporters. Although neither the mechanism nor the implications of these changes are well defined, the high GSH content makes cancer cells chemoresistant, which is a major factor that limits drug treatment. The present report highlights and integrates the growing connections between imbalances in GSH homeostasis and a multitude of human diseases.

Glutathione is amazing. Ever the underdog, few people have heard of this molecule, yet it supports nearly every aspect of our health. Consider these incredible properties: By acting as an antioxidant, it prevents wear and tear on your tissues, helping you stay youthful, age gracefully, and remain free of chronic diseases. By supporting every-day detoxification, it does …

COVID-19 Update 70 with Roger Seheult, MD Our Update 71 is available at https://www.medcram.com/courses/coronavirus-outbreak-symptoms-treatment As many states in the US make arrangements to re-open their economies, Dr. Seheult discusses some recent trends in COVID-19 infections and deaths. Glutathione is a substance produced naturally by the liver- and is also found in vegetables, fruits, and meats. Dr. Seheult discusses some interesting case reports from New York and Russia that suggest glutathione deficiency may be related to COVID-19 severity. More studies are needed to assess if supplementation of NAC and glutathione could aid in the prevention and treatment of COVID-19 (This video was recorded May 14th, 2020) ------------------------------------------- Links referenced in this video: Johns Hopkins Tracker - https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/map.html https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/ HHS - https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2999661/ ABC - https://abcnews.go.com/Business/states-coronavirus-reopening-plan/story?id=70565409 US News - https://www.usnews.com/news/health-news/articles/2020-05-12/covid-19-now-reaching-into-rural-america Reuters - https://graphics.reuters.com/HEALTH-CORONAVIRUS/USA-TRENDS/dgkvlgkrkpb/ ResearchGate (Dr. Polonikov from Russia) - https://www.researchgate.net/publication/340917045_Endogenous_deficiency_of_glutathione_as_the_most_likely_cause_of_serious_manifestations_and_death_in_patients_with_the_novel_coronavirus_infection_COVID-19_a_hypothesis_based_on_literature_data_and_ow ClinicalTrials - https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT04374461 Circulation - https://www.ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/CIRCULATIONAHA.117.027290 Medicine - https://journals.lww.com/md-journal/FullText/2018/11090/N_acetylcysteine_improves_oxidative_stress_and.35.aspx NIH - https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32322478/?from_term=glutathione+coronavirus&from_pos=9 New York Post - https://nypost.com/2020/05/09/new-york-mom-with-coronavirus-saved-by-medical-student-son/ ------------------------------------------- Some previous videos from this series (visit MedCram.com for the full series): - Coronavirus Pandemic Update 71: New Data on Adding Zinc to Hydroxychloroquine + Azithromycin: https://www.medcram.com/courses/coronavirus-outbreak-symptoms-treatment - Coronavirus Pandemic Update 69: "NAC" Supplementation and COVID-19 (N-Acetylcysteine) https://youtu.be/Dr_6w-WPr0w - Coronavirus Pandemic Update 68: Kawasaki Disease; Minority Groups & COVID-19: https://youtu.be/Ja-jhcXMGj0 - Coronavirus Pandemic Update 67: COVID-19 Blood Clots - Race, Blood Types, & Von Willebrand Factor https://youtu.be/JOlVkES_kC8 - Coronavirus Pandemic Update 66: ACE-Inhibitors and ARBs - Hypertension Medications with COVID-19 https://youtu.be/OudhmwulJHY - Coronavirus Pandemic Update 65: COVID-19 and Oxidative Stress (Prevention & Risk Factors) https://youtu.be/gzx8LH4Fjic - Coronavirus Pandemic Update 64: Remdesivir COVID-19 Treatment Update https://youtu.be/Z2hfGcTokiY - Coronavirus Pandemic Update 63: Is COVID-19 a Disease of the Endothelium (Blood Vessels and Clots)? https://youtu.be/Aj2vB_VITXQ - Coronavirus Pandemic Update 62: Treatment with Famotidine (Pepcid)? https://youtu.be/DtPwfihjyrY - Coronavirus Pandemic Update 61: Blood Clots & Strokes in COVID-19; ACE-2 Receptor; Oxidative Stress https://youtu.be/22Bn8jsGI54 - Coronavirus Pandemic Update 60: Hydroxychloroquine Update; NYC Data; How Widespread is COVID-19? https://www.medcram.com/courses/coronavirus-outbreak-symptoms-treatment - Coronavirus Pandemic Update 59: Dr. Seheult's Daily Regimen (Vitamin D, C, Zinc, Quercetin, NAC) https://youtu.be/NM2A2xNLWR4 - Coronavirus Pandemic Update 58: Testing; Causes of Hypoxemia in COVID 19 (V/Q vs Shunt vs Diffusion) https://youtu.be/nO4xgcIaPeA - Coronavirus Pandemic Update 57: Remdesivir Treatment Update and Can Far-UVC Disinfect Public Spaces? https://www.medcram.com/courses/coronavirus-outbreak-symptoms-treatment All coronavirus updates are at MedCram.com (including a discussion of that data for coronavirus UK, coronavirus NYC, and other locations) and we offer many other medical topics (ECG Interpretation, strokes, thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, myocardial infarction, hypercoagulation, hypertension, anticoagulation, DKA, acute kidney injury, influenza, measles, mechanical ventilation, etc.). ------------------------------------------- Speaker: Roger Seheult, MD Board Certified in Internal Medicine, Pulmonary Disease, Critical Care, and Sleep Medicine.
