Oxidative low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) induces endothelium senescence and promotes atherosclerosis. Ginsenoside Rb1 (gRb1) has been proved to protect human umbilical vein cells (HUVECs), but its effect on ox-LDL-induced endothelium senescence and the underlying mechanism remains unknown. This study is to explore the involvement of the SIRT1/Beclin-1/autophagy axis in the effect of gRb1 on protecting endothelium against ox-LDL-induced senescence. Hyperlipidemia of Sprague Dawley rats was induced by high-fat diet, and gRb1 was intraperitoneal injected. A senescence model of HUVECs induced by ox-LDL was also established. The results showed that gRb1 alleviated hyperlipidemia-induced endothelium senescence and ox-LDL-induced HUVECs senescence. GRb1 also restored the reductions in SIRT1 and autophagy, which were involved in the anti-senescence effects. Beclin-1 acetylation was reduced, and the correlation between SIRT1 and Beclin-1 was increased by gRb1. Results of our study demonstrated the anti-senescence function of gRb1 against hyperlipidemia in the endothelium, and the underlying mechanism involves the SIRT1/Beclin-1/autophagy axis.

Effect of Creatine Monohydrate Supplementation on Macro- and Microvascular Endothelial Function in Older Adults: A Pilot Study.

A pilot study was conducted to investigate the effect of four weeks of creatine monohydrate (CrM) on vascular endothelial function in older adults. In a double-blind, randomized crossover trial, twelve sedentary, healthy older adults were allocated to either the CrM or placebo (PL) group for four weeks, at a dose of 4 × 5 g/day for 5 days, followed by 1 × 5 g/day for 23 days. Macrovascular function (flow-mediated dilation [FMD%], normalized FMD%, brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity [baPWV], pulse wave analysis [PWA]), microvascular function (microvascular reperfusion rate [% StO/sec]), and biomarkers of vascular function (tetrahydrobiopterin [BH], malondialdehyde [MDA], oxidized low-density lipoprotein [oxLDL], glucose, lipids) were assessed pre- and post-supplementation with a four-week washout period.

Nitric oxide-sensitive guanylyl cyclase (NO-GC) is a heterodimeric enzyme with an α- and a β-subunit. In its active form as an αβ-heterodimer, NO-GC produces cyclic guanosine-3',5'-monophophate (cGMP) to regulate vasodilation and proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). In contrast to VSMCs, only a few studies reported on the expression of the NO-GC αβ-heterodimer in human pericytes.

Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) affects nearly 20% of older adults worldwide, with no targetable interventions for prevention. COVID-19 adversely affects cognition, with >70% of older adults with Long COVID presenting with cognitive complaints. Neurovascular coupling (NVC), an essential mechanism of cognitive function, declines with aging and is further attenuated in neurocognitive disorders.

Ovarian function declines significantly as females enter middle-age, but the mechanisms underlying this decline remain unclear. Here, we utilize whole-organ imaging to observe a notable decrease in ovarian blood vessel (oBV) density and angiogenesis intensity of middle-aged mice. This leads to a diminished blood supply to the ovaries, resulting in inadequate development and maturation of ovarian follicles.

Corneal endothelial cells, situated on the innermost layer of the cornea, are vital for maintaining its clarity and thickness by regulating fluid. In this study, we investigated the differences in the transcriptome between young and old corneal endothelial cells using next-generation sequencing (NGS). Cultured endothelial cells from both young and elderly donors were subjected to NGS to unravel the transcriptomic landscape.
