Aging-dependent changes of some enzymatic activities related to the glycolytic anaerobic pathway (lactate-dehydrogenase, LDH), to the Krebs's cycle (succinate dehydrogenase, SDH) and to the activity of the respiratory oxidative chain (NADH2 - tetrazolium reductase, NADH-D) were studied in the nephron of 4-(young) and 24- (aged) month-old female Wistar rats. In the renal glomeruli LDH and NADH-D activities were reduced with aging, while SDH did not undergo aging-dependent changes. In both the proximal and the distal convoluted tubules, LDH reactivity slightly increased while NADH-D remarkably decreased in old rats; SDH did not show aging-dependent changes. In the loop of Henle LDH was slightly increased, SDH was unchanged and NADH-D was decreased in aged in comparison to young rats. The three enzyme activities investigated were significantly reduced in the collecting tubules of aged animals. The above results are suggestive of the existence of aging changes in mechanisms related with energy transduction in the rat kidney, affecting at a different extent the cell populations of the nephron.

Background: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune disease damaging the central nervous system. Diminished inflammatory disease activity (DA) as people with MS (pwMS) age motivated randomized clinical trials assessing disease-modifying therapy (DMT) discontinuation in older pwMS given the concern for risks outweighing benefits. This study aims to examine whether peripheral production of Myelin Basic Protein (MBP)-driven cytokine responses mediate the aging-associated decline in MS inflammatory DA.

Once ovulated, the oocyte has to be fertilized in a short time window or it will undergo post-ovulation aging (POA), whose underlying mechanisms are still not elucidated. Here, we optimized single-cell proteomics methods and performed single-cell transcriptomic, proteomic, and phosphoproteomic analysis of fresh, POA, and melatonin-treated POA oocytes. POA oocytes showed downregulation of most differentially expressed proteins, with little correlation with mRNA expression, and the protein changes can be rescued by melatonin treatment.

Amyloid accumulation in Alzheimer's disease (AD) is associated with synaptic damage and altered connectivity in brain networks. While measures of amyloid accumulation and biochemical changes in mouse models have utility for translational studies of certain therapeutics, preclinical analysis of altered brain connectivity using clinically relevant fMRI measures has not been well developed for agents intended to improve neural networks. Here, we conduct a longitudinal study in a double knock-in mouse model for AD (App/hMapt), monitoring brain connectivity by means of resting-state fMRI.

Background: Most insects are poikilotherms and ectotherms, so their body temperature is predicated by environmental temperature. With climate change, insect body temperature is rising, which affects how insects develop, survive, and respond to infection. Aging also affects insect physiology by deteriorating body condition and weakening immune proficiency via senescence.

Purpose: To compare staining and artificial accelerating aging-dependent changes in color, translucency, and gloss of cloud-shade and one-shade resin composite.
Methods: The "cloud-shade" composites were Filtek Easy Match Universal Restorative (FU) and SimpliShade (SS): three shades each (light, medium and dark), while the "one shade" composites were Admira Fusion x-tra (AD) and Venus Diamond One (VE). Polymerized composite specimens (10 mm in diameter, 2 mm-thick) were polished using PoGo disks for 40 seconds.
