Flavanol-rich cocoa improves blood vessel function in aging baby boomer study participants
Flavanol-rich cocoa could offer powerful cardiovascular benefits for the nearly 78 million baby boomers in the United States today, suggests a new study published in the August issue of the Journal of Hypertension. view more (2006-08-02)
Drug triggers body's mechanism to reverse aging effect on memory process
A drug made to enhance memory appears to trigger a natural mechanism in the brain that fully reverses age-related memory loss, even after the drug itself has left the body, according to researchers at UC Irvine. view more (2006-07-28)
Key to longer life (in flies) lies in just 14 brain cells
Two years ago, Brown University researchers discovered something startling: Decrease the activity of the cancer-suppressing protein p53 and you can make fruit flies live significantly longer. view more (2007-09-21)
Risk of frailty in older women dependent on multisystem abnormalities
A study published online ahead of press in the Gerontology Society of America's Journal of Gerontology: Medical Sciences reports that the condition of frailty in older adults is associated with a critical mass of abnormal physiological systems, over and above the status of each individual system, and that the relationship is nonlinear. view more (2009-07-31)

Ace Inhibitors Could Slow Muscle Decline (p 926)
Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, a class of drugs used to lower blood pressure, could also be protective against the decline in muscle strength in elderly women suggest authors of a study in this week's issue of THE LANCET. ACE inhibitors are known to prevent the decline in physical function in patients with congestive heart failure... view more... (2002-03-13)
Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC scientists identify enzyme important in aging
The secret to longevity may lie in an enzyme with the ability to promote a robust immune system into old age by maintaining the function of the thymus throughout life, according to researchers studying an "anti-aging" mouse model that lives longer than a typical mouse. view more (2009-07-13)

Food restriction increases dopamine receptor levels in obese rats
A brain-imaging study of genetically obese rats conducted at the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory provides more evidence that dopamine - a brain chemical associated with reward, pleasure, movement, and motivation - plays a role in obesity. view more (2007-10-25)
Exercise helps elderly regain physical function and avoid major disability
