Eroticism in later life is, on the whole, a taboo subject, and stigma attached to expressions of sexual intent by older people is widespread most cultures. However, sexuality eroticism have an important role play maintaining healthy ageing. Sexuality essential aspect our biology its effects repercussions systems organs other than sexual. In this paper I review importance developing sexual-eroti...

BACKGROUND Two hormetic modifications of a monotonically decreasing log-logistic dose-response function are most often used to model stimulatory effects of low dosages of a toxicant in plant biology. As just one of these empirical models is yet properly parameterized to allow inference about quantities of interest, this study contributes the parameterized functions for the second hormetic model...

Physical inactivity leads to increased incidence of a variety of diseases and it can be regarded as one of the end points of the exercise-associated hormesis curve. On the other hand, regular exercise, with moderate intensity and duration, has a wide range of beneficial effects on the body including the fact that it improves cardio-vascular function, partly by a nitric oxide-mediated adaptation...

Should hormesis, as Thayer et al. (2006) implied in the title of their letter in the November 2006 issue of Environmental Health Perspectives, be dismissed by scientists, regulators, and others as simply a new faithbased religion? No. Hormesis is a data-based biological reality, one that challenges the lowdose assumptions that currently drive risk assessment processes used by regulatory and pub...

Glyphosate drift in plants that are not resistant to the herbicide molecule can result stimulation certain biological features, characterizing phenomenon of hormesis. On this basis, productive and chemical traits were evaluated marandu grass, a simulation effect, using sublethal doses glyphosate. The experiment was laid out randomized-block design with split plots time, four replicates. effect ...

As a result of almost 50 years of efforts in collecting descriptive data, biogerontologists are now able to construct general principles of aging and to explore possibilities of gerontomodulation. Most of the data indicate that aging is characterized by a stochastic accumulation of molecular damage and a progressive failure of maintenance and repair, and the genes involved in homeodynamic pathw...
