Reply to Suderman et al.: Importance of accounting for blood cell composition in epigenetic studies.
In our paper (1), we primarily questioned whether the statistical approach used by Borghol et al. (2) was justified, because treating neighboring probes as independent can lead to inflated P value significance. We are glad to see that in their Letter, Borghol et al. do not dispute this (3). We are also pleased that Borghol et al. concur with our concerns regarding their description of procedure...
متن کاملStudies on Blood Cell Metabolism
1. The respiratory metabolism of non-nucleated mammalian erythrocytes is enormously accelerated and approaches the magnitude of the metabolism of the nucleated erythrocytes of birds on the addition of methylene blue (and certain other dyes), to a final concentration of 0.005-0.0005 per cent. 2. In the presence of methylene blue the respiration is accelerated even when M/1000 KCN is also present...
متن کاملBody composition variations in ageing.
Age-related physiological variations of body composition concern both the fat-free mass (FFM) and the fat mass (FM). These variations expose the elderly person to the risk of malnutrition and could lead to conditions of disability. This paper aims to review the current state of knowledge on body composition in the aged population. The pattern of qualitative variations in body composition in old...
متن کاملStudies on Ageing in India: A Review
The paper outlines the status of research on ageing in India and provides a situational analysis of elderly in terms of economic, social, psychological and health aspects, and elder abuse. The paper also develops issues upon which models of care for the elderly can be framed and argues that factors such as place of residence, social class and gender among others tend to influence such models of...
متن کاملEpigenetic inheritance of proteostasis and ageing
Abundant evidence shows that the genome is not as static as once thought and that gene expression can be reversibly modulated by the environment. In some cases, these changes can be transmitted to the next generation even if the environment has reverted. Such transgenerational epigenetic inheritance requires that information be stored in the germline in response to exogenous stressors. One of t...
