P02.117. Genomic expression changes underlying mind-body practices
نویسندگان
چکیده
Methods We performed transcriptional profiling analyses on the Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells (PBMCs) obtained before (Pre RR) and after (Post RR) 8 weeks of intervention from a pilot group of 4 hypertensives. Transcriptional profiling used Affymetrix HT HG-U133+ PM arrays, containing >47,000 transcripts corresponding to 38,500 genes. The arrays were normalized using the robust multi-chip analysis (RMA) algorithm. After normalization and preprocessing, differentially expressed genes were identified using the random variance model based t-test. To understand the underlying biological mechanisms associated with RR regulated genes, we performed Gene ontology (GO), pathways and geneset enrichment analysis (GSEA).

The embodied mind: A review on functional genomic and neurological correlates of mind-body therapies.
A broad range of mind-body therapies (MBTs) are used by the public today, and a growing body of clinical and basic sciences research has resulted in evidence-based integration of many MBTs into clinical practice. Basic sciences research has identified some of the physiological correlates of MBT practices, leading to a better understanding of the processes by which emotional, cognitive and psych...
متن کاملPhysiological Effects of Mind and Body Practices
Mind-body practices originated in ancient cultures to enhance physical, mental, and spiritual wellbeing. Interest in their use in treatment stems from increasing awareness of their therapeutic potential and from the need for approaches that are cost-effective and have lower risks for adverse effects compared to pharmacological and other conventional interventions [1–3]. Rigorous research is nee...
متن کاملWhat Is the Molecular Signature of Mind–Body Interventions? A Systematic Review of Gene Expression Changes Induced by Meditation and Related Practices
There is considerable evidence for the effectiveness of mind-body interventions (MBIs) in improving mental and physical health, but the molecular mechanisms of these benefits remain poorly understood. One hypothesis is that MBIs reverse expression of genes involved in inflammatory reactions that are induced by stress. This systematic review was conducted to examine changes in gene expression th...
متن کاملP03.11. Relaxation response intervention induces respiration and heart rate variability changes in hypertensives
Purpose Mind/body practices that elicit the relaxation response (RR) have been used for health purposes for thousands of years, but mechanisms of action are not clearly understood. Our research team seeks to identify mechanisms underlying the impact of a mind/body relaxation response intervention on blood pressure. As an extension of that effort, the purpose of the current substudy explores phy...
متن کاملRapid Gene Expression Changes in Peripheral Blood Lymphocytes upon Practice of a Comprehensive Yoga Program
One of the most common integrative medicine (IM) modalities is yoga and related practices. Previous work has shown that yoga may improve wellness in healthy people and have benefits for patients. However, the mechanisms of how yoga may positively affect the mind-body system are largely unknown. Here we have assessed possible rapid changes in global gene expression profiles in the peripheral blo...
