Serum creatinine is an indicator of lean body mass and muscle quality, new studies find. Sponsored: Support your Workout Sessions and Healthy Hydration with this Creatine Electrolyte Combo by MYOXCIENCE Links to Studies, Images and Video: https://bit.ly/44D6Kce Time Stamps: 00:00 Creatinine is independently associated with lean body mass, muscle strength, and muscle quality. 00:25 Serum creatinine is a marker of impaired kidney function. 00:40 Creatinine is a normal waste product of muscle metabolism. 00:50 Levels can be impacted by declining kidney function, inflammation, and blood pressure reduction medications. 01:00 Concentrations are impacted by age, sex, and body size. 01:30 Average muscle protein per kilo of body weight was higher in omnivores. 02:10 Serum creatinine is significantly lower in vegetarians. 03:00 There are statistically significant differences in hand grip strength between omnivores and vegetarians. 05:10 Creatinine levels over 1.4 mg/dl may be a marker of chronic kidney disease and poor kidney function. 06:00 Abnormal urinary creatinine to albumin ratio is a marker of kidney dysfunction. 07:05 Low serum creatinine can indicate acute illness, severe liver disease, loss of muscle mass, malnutrition, muscular dysfunction, dehydration, or sarcopenia. 07:30 Vegetarian diet, low body mass, and reduced strength are linked to low serum creatinine. 08:30 There is a correlation between quality of protein, quality of muscle tissue, and serum creatinine. 09:05 Omnivores have significantly greater dietary protein intake, serum creatinine levels, and grip strength. 09:45 Increasing protein above the RDA has beneficial effects on strength level in vegetarians. |

Show Notes: 01:00 We may slow hair graying and hair loss by decreasing chronic inflammation. 02:00 By age 50, 50% of us will have 50% of our hair gray. 02:00 Over 1 year you lose .25% of your hair follicles. 03:00 post-menopausal women have a dramatic increase in follicle loss. 03:30 Oxidative stress can influence gray hair. 04:20 UV stress can affect the hair bulb. 04:40 There is a correlation between graying of hair, facial wrinkling, and crown top baldness and myocardial infarction in men. 08:00 With age, hairs are reduced in diameter and experience follicle miniaturization. 08:55 Chronic inflammation increases damage to DNA proteins and lipids within the hair follicle environment. 10:05 Collagen may be effective in preventing premature wrinkling of the skin and hair loss. 10:55 Bone mineral density correlates with hair loss and hair graying. 11:20 Slowing senescence and purging senescent cells happen with fasting and exercise. 12:25 Minimize exposure to pollution. Avoid excessive sun exposure. Avoid nutrition deficiencies. 13:30 Insulin resistance and PCOS can exacerbate hair loss. 14:00 Sometimes graying from environmental factors may be reversed. 14:30 52% of post-menopausal women experience hair loss. 14:40 Micronized progesterone can help women preserve the integrity of skin and hair follicle. 15:20 Lack of estrogen accelerates changes in hair follicle and skin aging. 17:45 Some shampoos can accelerate graying and hair loss. 18:35 Men with high levels of DHT, consider a ketoconazole shampoo.

Let's discuss ways to prevent fat gain with age, focusing specifically on age-related hormonal and metabolic changes as well as fat cell physiology. Sponsored: Support your Intermittent Fasting lifestyle with the Berberine Fasting Accelerator by MYOXCIENCE: Link to Video, Images and Research: https://bit.ly/44qTFSV Show Notes:
01:47 As fat cells get older, they hold fat more tightly. 01:55 There is infiltration of immune cells within fat tissue. 02:35 Mitochondrial function decreases with aging. 03:00 Exercise purges senescent cells. 03:50 Serum DHEA decreases with age. 04:52 Hormonal changes in aging cause fat cells to misbehave leading to metabolic derangement. 08:45 Reduced testosterone and DHEA effect post meal fat storage in men. 09:40 Your upper body is more sensitive to storing lipids after a meal but can become overfilled. 10:30 Fat tissue inflammation can be linked to reduced physical activity. 11:12 As you get older and stop exercising, decrease protein, your fat cells become infiltrated and enlarged. 12:25 The more body fat you have, the more proinflammatory immune cells you have within your fat tissue. 13:20 Overfilled fat cells cause muscle cells to onboard more fat. 14:00 Physical training has a huge impact on preserving muscle protein synthesis. 15:50 Exercised muscles become more sensitive to nutrients. 16:30 Increase your protein intake as you get older. 17:30 Protein intake should be between 1.2 and 1.5. Grams per kilo of ideal bodyweight per day. 18:10 Fast twitch muscle fibers are preferentially lost with aging. |
