Idebenone [IAAS/Idebenone, Books, Links, Papers, LifeExtension, Wikipedia] (QSA-10),(a synthetic analog of CoQ10, ubiquinone) [61], [39], [59]. [Smart Drugs/Idebenone, enhances serotonin levels and nerve growth factor levels, Google links, (4). Idebenone protects myelin sheaths in multiple sclerosis, developer Prof. Zs-Nagy, (4). See also Links/Idebenone enhances serotonin levels and Links/Idebenone boosts Nerve Growth Factor levels. IGF-1 [Wikipedia, Links/IGF-1 and aging, Books, LibCong/IGF-1, Papers, Patents, LifeExtension]. IGF-1 (TA/IGF-1) upregulates telomerase [Telomerase Activators/(9), Biocarta Pathways], and may be activated via HGH (TA/HGH) from, say, whey protein and exercise. Almost all human cells are affected by IGF-1. "IGF-1 strongly promotes the survival of vascular smooth muscle cells, wheras low plasma IGF-1 is associated with many cardiovascular risk factors... IGF-1 increases nitric oxide production via a PI3K-Akt cascade which increases vasodilation and ROS scavenging... Additionally, activation of IGF-1 receptor and Akt stimulates production of cardiomyocytes and stem cells." - The Biology of Human Longevity, Caleb E. Finch, p.8. "Genetic pathways that promote survival and enlongated life include the IGF-1 signaling pathway [Links, Images, Books, Amazon], dietary restriction, and the mitochondrial transport chain..." - from Introduction to Telomeres and Telomerase in Ageing, Disease, and Cancer; Molecular Mechanisms of Adult Stem Cell Aging, by Jerry W. Shay and K. Lenhard Rudolph, edited by K. Lenhard Rudolph, 2008. I believe that I am stimulating the IGF-1 pathway by doing exercises while full of whey protein (from bodybuilding powder, cottage cheese, or skim milk), which stimulates HGH, thereby activating the IGF-1 pathway. This is probably a key to the long lifetime of 94+ year-old bodybuilder Jack Lalanne (b. Sept 14, 1914). See IGF-1 for antiaging. "IGF-1(Insulin Growth Factor-1) is a compound produced primarily in the liver through a conversion of HGH (Human Growth Hormone). HGH is secreted by the pituitary gland and is essential for growth and optimum immune system function. " - See Now IGF-1 Lozenges for Anti-Aging [Links, NOW], and NOW IGF-1 Lipospray [A1, NOW] for sublingual administration (about $25.00 at Whole Foods), and IGF-1 telomerase activation [Links, Books]. See also the IGF-1 receptor [Wikipedia, Links]. IGF-1 is a risk factor in prostate cancer and breast cancer (Wikipedia). IGF-1 can induce hypertrophy of skeletal muscle and other target tissues. See Lawrence A. Wetterau, Malik J. Francis, Liqun Ma and Pinchas Cohen, Insulin-Like Growth Factor I Stimulates Telomerase Activity in Prostate Cancer Cells, The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism Vol. 88, No. 7 3354-3359, Copyright 2003. See IGF-1 from deer antler [Links]. Since IGF-1 increases the risk of prostate cancer by about 4x, a Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) test is recommended in connection with the use of this class of product [LifeExtension/IGF-1 and Aging]. As Dr. Jerry Brainum recently pointed out in Iron Man, DHEA boosts IGF-1 levels [Links, Papers], as does bodybuilding exercise. Vitamin D is thought to make IGF-1 safe enough to use in connection with telomerase activation, preventing any cancers due to IGF-1. See Vitamin D inhibits IGF-1 associated cancer. Note that Medical Nutraceutics puts 2000 IU of vitamin D into their telomerase activator Maximum Telomere Support, which is based on Astragaloside IV. iGrowHair Telomerase [Site, Links, Links/telomerase excreting acidophilus, Wikipedia/acidophilus, Links/acidophilus, Links/telomerase excreting probiotics, Wikipedia/probiotics, Books/Probiotics].

"High infectious burdens and poor nutrition attenuate somatic repair and growth." - The Biology of Human Longevity, C.E.Finch, p.4. Inflammation and Aging, [Books, Amazon, LibCong, Links, Papers, LifeExtension, Ben Best] see [70s], [68s] on NFκB, and [67s] on C-reactive protein as a marker of inflammation and aging. InfoAging, [57] Inflammatory factors secreted by senescent cells [Links, Images, Books, LibCong/senescent cells, Papers, Patents, LifeExtension] "have been implicated in focal remodeling of pre-malignant cells." - Caleb E. Finch, p.32. That is, inflammatory factors secreted by senescent cells may lead to cancer. Thus, telomerase activation with small molecule telomerase activators (7) to avoid replicative cellular senescence, reducing inflammatory factors and insuring genomic stability, protects against cancer.

Interleukin 2 [Intimm/Interleukin 2, Wikipedia, Books, Papers, Patents] for lymphocytes is a small-molecule telomerase activator. This is a larger molecule of about 15,500 Daltons (still capable of passing through the nuclear pore), the cytokine also termed IL-2 (interleukin 2), a "lymphokine" which augments the expression of mRNA for human telomerase in T-cell lymphocytes. IL-2 "has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of cancers (malignant melanoma, renal cell cancer), and is in clinical trials for the treatment of chronic viral infections, and as a booster (adjuvant) for vaccines." - [Wikipedia]. Interleukin 2's telomerase-enhancing role in T-lyphocytes has been noted by other investigators. [Papers/IL-2 and telomerase activation; Papers/interleukin-2 and telomerase activation, Links, Books, article]. Interleukin 6 [Links, Books, Papers, Amazon] is an inflammatory cytokine produced by exercise that generates heat shock protein Hsp90, which is complexed with nuclear superfamily transcription factors prior to their transport into the nucleus. It may be important in the process of chain transporting cycloastragenol from the astragalosides into the nucleus. International Anti-Aging Systems IAAS, [57].

Lipofuscin granules [Images] result from lysosomal digestion and are primarily a problem in post-mitotic cells including nerve cells, brain cells, muscle cells, and cardiac myocytes. Lipofuscin accumulation is a major risk factor in macular degeneration, Alzheimer's Disease, Batten's Disease, Parkinson's Disease, melanosis coli, denervation atrophy, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. - After Vince Giuliano in Anti-Aging Firewalls. See also ceroid-type lipofuscin from alcohol [Images/ceroid lipofuscin, Images/Neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis]. Drugs effective in lipfuscin removal include CoQ10 (ubiquinol), piracetam, alpha lipoic acid, meclofenoxate (centrophenoxine), acetyl L-carnitine, and curcumin.

Lutein [Lutein.Info, pronunciation, Wikipedia, Links, Books, LibCong, Papers, LifeExtension], zeaxanthin, and meso-zeaxanthin aid against macular degeneration, [25i], [101]. Lutein also protects against cataracts [Wikipedia, Links, Books, LifeExtension], which increase as sun exposure goes up. "Scientists found a 40% lower rate of cataracts occuring at the center of the lens for every milligram increase in their daily intake of lutein and zeaxanthin!" - LifeExtension. See Foods Containing Lutein and Zeaxanthin [Links, LifeExtension]. Green vegetables such as kale, spinach, turnip greens, collard greens, romaine lettuce, broccoli, zucchini, garden peas and Brussel sprouts are the finest sources of lutein and zeaxanthin. Luteolin [Wikipedia, Links, Books, Papers, LifeExtension], (combats proliferation of undesirable cell colonies), found in high amounts in parsley, sage, and peppermint along with basil, celery and artichoke, also found in celery, green pepper, perilla and camomile tea [36s] (g). Luteolin is also used to suppress dangerous inflammatory cytokines [Links, Books], such as interleukin-1 and tumor necrosis factor alpha. Lycopene [Links, LibCong, LifeExtension, Wikipedia; Links/Lycopene in foods] Lycopene, an antioxidant, is superior for decreasing blood lipid levels, application to oxidized LDL, and inflammation. It slows the accumulation of atherosclerotic plaque, and is associated with healthier prostate function. Take at least 10 mg/day. Note that lycopene is best absorbed from processed or heated tomato-based products rather than from raw tomatoes. Lymphoma [Links, Books, Wikipedia, DNA Microarray Lymphoma study, Amazon, LibCong] Lymphoma induced by dying his hair [see Hair Dye Mutagenic Carcinogens] killed Steve Reeves [web site] at 74 after his lymphoma metastasized. Reeves died at Palomar Medical Center in Escondido, Calif. just eight weeks after his diagnosis. He was cremated and his ashes were scattered in Montana. The 4 occipital lymph nodes at the base of the skull-neck junction on both the left and the right drain the scalp over the occipital region of the skull. [Links/occipital lymph nodes, Books/occipital lymph nodes, Links/Steve Reeves dies of lymphoma, Causes of Lymphoma]. Monoclonal antibodies for treating lymphoma include Rituxan - (generic name rituximab, British trade name MabThera) a nonradioactive bound monoclonal antibody recently approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Zevalin - an investigative drug from the makers of Rituxan with yttrium-90 radiolabel, and Bexxar - the first radiolabled antibody is in phase III trials and is receiving wider distribution and publicity prior to approval. See Hodgkin's Disease, and Lymphomas (Non-Hodgkins). See also Symptoms: Swollen Lymph Nodes. I expect non-Hodgkins lymphoma from hair dye to show up in the occipital lymph nodes at the back of the neck, in the retroauricular lymph nodes behind the ear, or in the parotid lymph nodes in front of the ear. [Chart] See also [Books/removing the occipital lymph nodes, Books/occipital lymph node surgery, Books/occipital lymph node biopsy, Neck surgery procedure, occipital anatomy 1, 2, Links/occipital artery, Books/Local anesthetic, Links/Local anesthetic, Wikipedia/local anesthetic, Books/melanoma, Books/lymphatic melanoma, Books/lymphoma, Books/treating lymphoma, Links/treating lymphoma, Famous Victims of Lymphoma]. Sometimes swollen lymph nodes may be reduced by treatment with hot wet packs featuring a hot wet hand towel warmed by a hot water bottle, 4-6 times per day, 1/2 hour per treatment, to improve circulation to the node. Shark liver oil [Links, Wikipedia, LifeExtension] is a folk remedy for swelling of the lymph nodes.
