Neurophysiological effects of aging: A P200 ERP study
Published in Translational Neuroscience
Age-related effects were studied in 14 younger (M = 34 years) and 14 (M = 47 years) older healthy participants. Event-related potential (ERP) recording was done using a 256-channel EEG system. Results indicated that ERP is affected by advanced age. There was a significant difference in P200 mean latency between the younger participants and older pa...
Searching for a mitochondrial root to the decline in muscle function with ageing.
Published in Journal of cachexia, sarcopenia and muscle
Sarcopenia, the age-related loss of muscle mass and strength, is linked to a range of adverse outcomes, such as impaired physical performance, cognitive function, and mortality. Preventing sarcopenia may reduce the burden of functional decline with aging and its impact on physiological and economic well-being in older adults. Mitochondria in muscle...
Efeito das variáveis de função pulmonar estática na condição e resposta cardiorrespiratória ao exercício, mobilidade e e...
The aging process is dyn amic and progressive, with physiological changes that can result in pulmonary capacities, mobility and balance alterations. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of static pulmonary function variables in the outcome of different tests of f ield effort, mobility and balance of subjects abov e 50 years. And e...
Analysis of neurotrophic and antioxidant factors related to midbrain dopamine neuronal loss and brain inflammation in th...
Published in Experimental gerontology
Midbrain dopamine neuronal loss and neuroinflammation are two phenomena that are associated with brain senescence. Neurotrophic factor changes and oxidative stress could subserve these phenomena. Aging-related brain changes can be well monitored through the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). The objective was to analyze neurotrophic and oxidative parameter...
DOES THE APPARITION MOMENT OF MENTAL FATIGUE VARY AS A FUNCTION OF AGE? INVESTIGATION OF TIME-ON-TASK EFFECT IN YOUNG, M...
Introduction. Young people show an increase in their reaction time (RT) between the first and the last 40 minutes of a 160-minute Stroop task (Wang et al., 2016). Our study is aimed at replicating Wang et al. (2016) results but also to test for the first time this Time-on-Task effect in middle-aged and older people. Method. Twenty-one Young (MAge=2...
Beneficial and paradoxical roles of selenium at nutritional levels of intake in healthspan and longevity.
Published in Free radical biology & medicine
Accumulation of genome and macromolecule damage is a hallmark of aging, age-associated degeneration, and genome instability syndromes. Although processes of aging are irreversible, they can be modulated by genome maintenance pathways and environmental factors such as diet. Selenium (Se) confers its physiological functions mainly through selenoprote...
