NAD+ Deficiency in Age-Related Mitochondrial Dysfunction: Cell Metabolism

Age-related mitochondrial dysfunction is thought to contribute to mammalian aging, particularly in postmitotic tissues that rely heavily on oxidative phosphorylation. A new study ( Gomes et al., 2013 ) shows that reduced levels of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) contribute to the mitochondrial decay associated with skeletal muscle aging and that sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) modulates this process.… Read More »

ACUTE EFFECT OF ALCOHOL ON ANDROGENS IN PREMENOPAUSAL WOMEN | Alcohol and Alcoholism

Heavy alcohol consumption is associated with abnormalities of the menstrual cycle, sterility, miscarriages, and loss of female sexual characteristics, all of which are affected by the hormonal balance in women (Van Thiel and Lester, 1979). Thus, it seems reasonable to postulate that these adverse effects could at least in part originate from alcohol-mediated changes in… Read More »
