The effect of aging on circulating levels of proinflammatory cytokines during septic shock

Article Abstract:

This article examines the relationship between aging and circulating concentrations of proinflammatory cytokines in older adults diagnosed with septic shock. Findings indicate that advanced age is not associated with reductions in levels of circulatory proinflammatory cytokines.

Statistical Data Included, Septic shock, Cytokines, Immune response

Telomeres and telomerase: basic science implications for aging

Article Abstract:

Research presented explores the relationship between telomeres, telomerase, and aging. Topics addressed include the biology of aging, the work of scientists to increase life expectancy and life span, premature aging, and the influence of telomerase on aging cells.

Age-related changes of circadian rhythms and sleep-wake cycles

Article Abstract:

Results indicate that early rising in the elderly is not fully explained by a relative circadian system phase advance. It is posited that advanced illumination and evening naps may also cause circadian system advancement in aging.
