Anti-ageing, any real evidence?

Anti-ageing, any real evidence?

Here are some interesting facts to keep you up-to-date on some anti-ageing agents:

DHEA: (Dehydroepiandrosterone) is a steroid secreted by repparttar adrenal cortex. This hormone is repparttar 115878 precursor for testosterone, progesterone and estrogen. This hormone is found to decline with age so replacing this hormone could be expected to slow age-related changes. DHEA has also been shown to be directly related to mortality with an inverse relationship existing between repparttar 115879 levels of DHEA and mortality from heart disease as well as other causes1. Calorie deprivation (known to prolong ageing, see below) is also known to inhibit repparttar 115880 decline of DHEA. Another important hormone with antiageing properties include HGH (human growth hormone). Effective HGH hormone sprays are available.

Antioxidants: The theory is that in ageing unrepaired oxidative damage accumulate putting repparttar 115881 organism under increased stress. DNA damage is also reported to be associated with oxidative stress. Antioxidants protect against cellular damage by mopping up repparttar 115882 reactive oxygen species that cause damage. A recent study2 of elderly subjects found that DNA damage occurred in 45 % of subjects, with 62% having low total antioxidant levels. Antioxidants include vitamins C, A, E, and repparttar 115883 mineral selenium. Although these agents are effective antioxidants, their beneficial effects in slowing ageing still remains largely unproven. There is considered stronger evidence for repparttar 115884 roles of these antioxidants in degenerative disease such as atherosclerosis. The area of antioxidants in ageing is still an active area of research interest. Tip: not many people know, but there is an effective and convenient test for checking your Antioxidant status to see if you are adequately protected against repparttar 115885 damaging effects of free radicals. The test involves measurement of lipid peroxides in urine. Lipid peroxides represent damage caused to fats by free radicals and provide a useful barometer of your antioxidant status.
