Efficacy Of Topical Estradiol Compared To Topical Glycolic Acid For Skin Aging Treatment In Postmenopausal Women, Shannaz Nada Yusharyahya, Marsha Bianti
Efficacy Of Topical Estradiol Compared To Topical Glycolic Acid For Skin Aging Treatment In Postmenopausal Women, Shannaz Nada Yusharyahya, Marsha Bianti
Journal of General - Procedural Dermatology & Venereology Indonesia
Skin aging is a complex biological process in human being, as a result from intrinsic factors (genetic, hormonal, metabolism) and extrinsic factors (UV exposure, pollution, smoking, life style). In postmenopausal women, physiologically, the amount of estrogen are decreased, causing deterioration of their skin’s appearance.
Along with the changes that occur, skin care require more attention. A holistic approach can increase epidermal thickness, therefore, reducing the depth of wrinkles, as well as improving skin texture and moisture. There are various treatments available to improve skin appearance due to aging.
This EBCR is aimed to compare the efficacy of topical estradiol and …

Aging, Inflammation, And Gut Microbiota In Mice, Jody Demeo

Inflammation and gut microbiota are two areas of study that can be linked to aging in the body. As a person ages, systemic inflammation tends to increase, and changes in microbiota in the gastrointestinal system occur as well.

Background: Muscle mass and strength are strong determinants of a person’s quality of life and functional independence with advancing age. While resistance training is the most effective intervention to combat age-associated muscle atrophy (sarcopenia), the ability of older adults to increase muscle mass and strength in response to training is blunted and highly variable. Thus, finding novel ways to complement resistance training to improve muscle response and ultimately quality of life among older individuals is critical. The purpose of this study is to determine whether a commonly prescribed medication called metformin can be repurposed to improve the response to resistance …
Aging And Muscle Fatigability In The Upper Extremity, Andrew Kuplic
Aging And Muscle Fatigability In The Upper Extremity, Andrew Kuplic
Master's Theses (2009 -)
Aging is accompanied by reductions in strength and contraction velocity, and increased fatigability of limb muscles during high-velocity dynamic contractions. These age-related changes affect functional tasks and are well described for the lower limb, with less known about the upper limb muscles. The aims of the thesis were to compare in young and old men and women: (1) maximal torque and power of the elbow flexor muscles across a range of isokinetic velocities, and (2) the neural (supraspinal) and muscular mechanisms of fatigue induced by high-velocity dynamic contractions of the elbow flexor muscles. 28 young (23.2 ± 2.6 years) men …

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small noncoding RNAs that regulate gene expression by targeting mRNAs for degradation or translational repression. MiRNAs can be expressed tissue specifically and are altered in response to various physiological conditions. It has recently been shown that miRNAs are released into the circulation, potentially for the purpose of communicating with distant tissues. This manuscript discusses miRNA alterations in cardiac muscle and the circulation during heart failure, a prevalent and costly public health issue. A potential mechanism for how skeletal muscle maladaptations during heart failure could be mediated by myocardium-derived miRNAs released to the circulation is presented. An overview …
