Trace Eléments in Aging
نویسنده
چکیده
Knowledge of minerai élément status and requirements in older people is incomplète and, for most éléments, derived by extrapolation from younger âge groups. Yet some valid conclusions can be drawn on the basis of known age-related changes in body composition, in energy needs, and in food intake to meet thèse requirements. In the following discussion I shall first deal with iron, the requirement for which changes abruptly in women with ménopause, and then I shall deal with other éléments, according to their changes in concentration in the human body through life.

Increased excitability of aged rabbit CA1 neurons after trace eyeblink conditioning.
Cellular properties of CA1 neurons were studied in hippocampal slices 24 hr after acquisition of trace eyeblink conditioning in young adult and aging rabbits. Aging rabbits required significantly more trials than young rabbits to reach a behavioral criterion of 60% conditioned responses in an 80 trial session. Intracellular recordings revealed that CA1 neurons from aging control rabbits had sig...
متن کاملRat adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells aging reduction by zinc sulfate under extremely low frequency electromagnetic field exposure is associated with increased telomerase reverse transcriptase gene expression
Zinc as an essential trace element was reported to be involved in regulation of the growth and aging of cells. In this study, rat adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells were exposed to extremely low frequency electromagnetic field (ELF-EMF) of 50 Hz and 20 mT to evaluate whether exposure to ELF-EMF in the presence of zinc sulfate (ZnSO4) affects the telomerase reverse transcriptase (...
متن کاملAwareness in classical differential eyeblink conditioning in young and aging humans.
The role of awareness and its impact on learning the conditioned eyeblink response was investigated in both trace and delay discrimination eyeblink conditioning in young and aging participants, in 4 paradigms: delay 750, delay 1,250, trace 500, and trace 1,000. Participants concurrently watched a silent movie about which they were questioned afterward. Acquisition in both the trace and delay di...
متن کاملWhat are Trace Elements ? — Their deficiency and excess states —
Elements which are detected in small but not precisely known amounts in the living body were called “trace elements” in the past. Recent advances in analytical technologies, such as the development of atomic absorption spectrometry, have made it possible to measure these elements precisely and to determine their functions and the characteristics of their deficiency and excess states. The so-cal...
متن کاملAge- and dose-dependent facilitation of associative eyeblink conditioning by D-cycloserine in rabbits.
Normal aging selectively impairs some forms of learning. For example, aging rabbits require more than twice as many trials to acquire 500-ms trace eyeblink conditioning than do young rabbits. N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonists also impair trace conditioning. The effects of daily D-cycloserine (DCS; a partial agonist of the NMDA receptor-glycine site) treatment were tested on trace...
