The role of mTOR in Longevity

This clip is from an episode of Longevity By Design with co-hosts Ashley Reaver, MS, RD, CSSD, and Dr. Gil Blander, and our guest, Dr. Keith Baar. As the head of the Functional Molecular Biology Lab at UC Davis, Dr. Baar has made groundbreaking discoveries about how exercise and nutrition influence the adaptation of muscles, tendons, and ligaments.
In the full episode, they cover:
What is the musculoskeletal system, and can you explain why it is so vital for health, physical function and performance, and quality of life?
What is the role of mTOR in health and longevity?
What is the role of rapamycin and metformin in health and longevity?
Activation of mTOR by resistance exercise and protein
Is there a window of opportunity for consuming protein following exercise to increase muscle protein synthesis? Is the timing of protein consumption post-exercise important for muscle protein synthesis?
Is the type of protein important for muscle protein synthesis?
Is there a difference between young and older adults in how they respond to resistance exercise?
What are the differences in molecular responses and longevity between resistance and endurance exercise?
What are ligaments and tendons? Are there differences in ligaments and tendons between men and women?
What is the best way to exercise for tendons and ligaments?
Is there a difference between pre-menopausal and post-menopausal women in tendons and ligaments?
Why is collagen important for tendons and ligaments?
Why is vitamin C important for collagen synthesis and tendons and ligaments?
When should a collagen supplement be consumed?
What are some misconceptions about tendons and ligaments?
What happens to tendons and ligaments during a joint replacement?
What excites or interests Dr. Keith Baar the most that has the potential to extend healthspan in the next 5-10 years?
