Hi, I’m going to use this comment to, like many others, congratulate you, for the work that you have been doing with this channel! In school/university normally there is not many courses that talk about the biology of aging and as a master’s student that wants to pursue this research field, your videos are helping and teaching me a lot. I wanted to also comment about alpha ketoglutarate: Ponce de Leon health has done a study that they claimed to have decreased the epigenetic age of persons in 8.5 years with alpha ketoglutarate, even though the epigenetic clock they used I don’t think that is the best, it made me think that alpha ketoglutarate probably is decreasing the epigenetic age of the cells, possible with the help of TET enzymes and so, maybe alpha ketoglutarate it’s like a natural version of (partial) epigenetic reprogramming.

Thanks for this timely research based presentation. But am a bit confused about p53. If memory serves animals, like elephants, who have extra copies (compared to humans) of the p53 gene, have lower cancer rates as a result. And in humans exercise increases expression of p53, which I understood to be anti-cancer. But the research you presented at ~ 7 minutes indicates AKG reduced expression of p53. Is that correct, and if so, why is reduction of p53 expression desirable? Or am i confusing histone methylation status with gene expression?
@TheSheekeyScienceShow4 жыл бұрын
So in a general sense, p53 is activated by stress, e.g exercise but there is good and bad stress. So low expression in this case seems to suggest less dna damage (as a source of stress) which is good
