Oxidative stress in hypopituitary dwarf mice and in transgenic mice overexpressing human and bovine GHSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 22 - Trang 181-186 - 1999

Growth hormone (GH) stimulates metabolic activity. The purpose of this study was to examine whether it is involved in the aging process by increasing oxidative stress. Inorganic peroxides and lipid peroxides were measured in kidney and liver samples in dwarf mice that are deficient in GH, prolactin and thyrotropin and in transgenic mice that produce high levels of GH. In normal male mice, there wa...... hiện toàn bộ
Wild-derived mouse stocks: an underappreciated tool for aging researchSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 30 - Trang 135-145 - 2008
James M. Harper
Virtually all biomedical research makes use of a relatively small pool of laboratory-adapted, inbred, isogenic stocks of mice. Although the advantages of these models are many, there are a number of disadvantages as well. When studying a multifaceted process such as aging, the problems associated with using laboratory stocks are greatly inflated. On the other hand, wild-derived mouse stocks, loose...... hiện toàn bộ
Alzheimer’s disease: A hypothesis on pathogenesisSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 23 - Trang 147-161 - 2000

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the major cause of dementia. It is a systemic disorder whose major manifestations are in the brain. AD cases can be categorized into two groups on the basis of the age of onset-before or after about age 60. The majority of cases, 90–95 percent, are in the late onset category. Early onset cases are largely, if not all, familial (FAD). These are caused by mutations in the...... hiện toàn bộ
Gene set analysis of GWAS data for human longevity highlights the relevance of the insulin/IGF-1 signaling and telomere maintenance pathwaysSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 35 - Trang 235-249 - 2011

In genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of complex traits, single SNP analysis is still the most applied approach. However, the identified SNPs have small effects and provide limited biological insight. A more appropriate approach to interpret GWAS data of complex traits is to analyze the combined effect of a SNP set grouped per pathway or gene region. We used this approach to study the joint ef...... hiện toàn bộ
