Evaluating psychosocial and physical activity outcomes following an intervention among Filipino Americans.

Physical activity (PA) is a strong contributor to enhancing a healthy lifestyle and preventing numerous chronic diseases. As ethnic minorities engage in low levels of PA, psychosocial and activity-based interventions for sustaining PA are crucial. The 6-month intervention incorporated culturally tailored educational workshops and weekly PA classes at a community center.

Cranberry extract standardized for proanthocyanidins promotes the immune response of Caenorhabditis elegans to Vibrio cholerae through the p38 MAPK pathway and HSF-1.

Botanicals are rich in bioactive compounds, and some offer numerous beneficial effects to animal and human health when consumed. It is well known that phytochemicals in cranberries have anti-oxidative and antimicrobial activities. Recently, an increasing body of evidence has demonstrated that cranberry phytochemicals may have potential benefits that promote healthy aging.

Supplement timing of cranberry extract plays a key role in promoting Caenorhabditis elegans healthspan.

Consumption of nutraceuticals is a major and potent dietary intervention for delaying aging. As the timing of administration is critical for the efficacy of bioactive compounds in medicine, the effectiveness of nutraceuticals may also be dramatically affected by the timing of supplementation. Cranberry exact (CBE), rich in polyphenols, is consumed as a nutraceutical, and possesses anti-aging properties.

Methods for creating mutations in C. elegans that extend lifespan.

The principle of commonly used methods to create mutations in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) is straightforward. In general, worms are exposed to a dose of mutagen resulting in DNA damages and mutations.
