Can one use an oral protein tolerance test to estimate anabolic sensitivity? Our first data suggest that this might be the case but there are several caveats. Well done Tim Havers and Max Hillgärtner! #HyperMet doi.org/10.64898/202...

Plasma metabolite responses to an oral protein tolerance test differ between young and sarcopenic participants and suggest altered anabolic sensitivity
Abstract Background: Sarcopenia is associated with anabolic resistance, a blunted muscle protein synthesis response to protein ingestion. Here, we hypothesized that anabolic resistance may be associat...

Sometimes simple things are game changers. By correcting for mortality that is not ageing related (e.g., accidents), the heritablity estimate for longevity increases to aoround 55%. #Longevity www.science.org/doi/epdf/10....

Heritability of intrinsic human life span is about 50% when confounding factors are addressed
