Abstract

Here we report on a case series of six women who completed a methylation-supportive diet and lifestyle program designed to impact DNA methylation and measures of biological aging. The intervention consisted of an 8-week program that included diet, sleep, exercise and relaxation guidance, supplemental probiotics and phytonutrients and nutritional coaching. DNA methylation and biological age analysis (Horvath DNAmAge clock (2013), normalized using the SeSAMe pipeline [a]) was conducted on blood samples at baseline and at the end of the 8-week period. Five of the six participants exhibited a biological age reduction of between 1.22 and 11.01 years from their baseline biological age. There was a statistically significant (p=.039) difference in the participants' mean biological age before (55.83 years) and after (51.23 years) the 8-week diet and lifestyle intervention, with an average decrease of 4.60 years. The average chronological age at the start of the program was 57.9 years and all but one participant had a biological age younger than their chronological age at the start of the program, suggesting that biological age changes were unrelated to disease improvement and instead might be attributed to underlying aging mechanisms.

About Aging-US

Launched in 2009, Aging-US publishes papers of general interest and biological significance in all fields of aging research and age-related diseases, including cancer—and now, with a special focus on COVID-19 vulnerability as an age-dependent syndrome. Topics in Aging-US go beyond traditional gerontology, including, but not limited to, cellular and molecular biology, human age-related diseases, pathology in model organisms, signal transduction pathways (e.g., p53, sirtuins, and PI-3K/AKT/mTOR, among others), and approaches to modulating these signaling pathways.

Potential Reversal of Biological Age in Women with Diet and Lifestyle Program

Lumex Instruments 

InfraLUM FT-12 NIR analyzer performs express analysis of various agricultural and food products, allowing you to simultaneously determine main parameters and components with the highest possible accuracy. The analysis is non-destructive and usually does not require any sample preparation.

With regular use, this instrument can significantly reduce analysis cost compared to common wet-chemical methods. The FT spectroscopy technique ensures that InfraLUM FT-12 performs
a very precise and reproducible analysis. 

Lumex Instruments offers another InfraLUM FT-12 WholeGrain model with the automatic cell filling for the analysis of whole grains.

Analytical Cannabis 

This exclusive all-female panel discussion took place in February 2023 to honor International Women and Girls in Science Day.

We were delighted to host expert female cannabis scientists for this panel who discussed challenges and opportunities in cannabis testing and regulations from their unique perspective as women actively engaged in these lines of work. 

This panel discussion explored:
- Analytical challenges alongside regulatory limits
- Testing to compliance and realistic regulations
- Challenges and updates of the cannabis industry in Oklahoma and Florida

Women in Cannabis Science

Speaking at an Analytical Cannabis webinar in November 2022, Sabrina Didado, Founder/ and Biochemist of Cosmic Harvest, LLC , presented insights into the latest real-world solutions for cannabis oil purification and contaminant remediation with a focus on production-scale solutions.

Talk abstract: With the influx of varying quality cannabis and hemp flower on the market today, proper processing is one of the most critical components of obtaining accurate and precise products for consumers to count on. Even for vertically integrated companies, the variation and unpredictability from plant to plant and harvest to harvest can greatly change the rigid and precision of the processing system. 
This webinar will provide insights into the latest real-world solutions for cannabis oil purification and contaminant remediation with a focus on production-scale solutions. Sabrina will briefly explain the different processes of cannabis extraction and the various steps involved to obtain a desired cannabinoid potency. Terpene isolation will also be mentioned briefly. Then, quality assurance will be discussed in detail and how important this step is to the end consumer. Different options for contamination remediation will also be mentioned, as well as preventative measures.

Creative Enzymes

Enzymes are known to aid food processing in a wide variety of applications, for example manufacturing of cheese, vinegar and wine; leavening of bread; brewing of beer and so on. In these processes enzymes help to save energy and resources, as well as improve the overall efficiency. In many instances, the use of enzymes has been proved to decrease the volumes and toxicity of byproducts and effluents. Creative Enzymes provides a wide range of products including high purity enzymes and custom blends, which can be readily used in food and beverage processes. https://www.creative-enzymes.com/cate/Food-And-Beverage-Applications_108.html
