stress resistance

Increased growth rates, vigour and stress resistance among animals cultivated on such diets have been reported.

The lifespan increase was shown to be associated with an increase in stress resistance.

Paramedics need specific qualities to give the best service possible like leadership, stress resistance, good communication and team spirit.

"We laced titanium cells into the bone material, strengthening its stress resistance by four hundred percent."

These amino acids were claimed to have positive or enhanced effects on alertness, stress resistance and energy levels.

Later he developed the idea of two "reservoirs" of stress resistance, or alternatively stress energy.

Both methods improved glucose metabolism, increased insulin sensitivity, and increased stress resistance.

According to the concept of homeostasis, in response to stressors the body seeks to return to its equilibrium state, or the normal level of stress resistance.

The human sirtuins have a range of molecular functions and have emerged as important proteins in aging, stress resistance and metabolic regulation.

Many studies suggest this may be due to anti-oxidative action, oxidative stress suppression, or oxidative stress resistance which occurs in calorie restriction.

According to the US National Academy of Sciences, other health benefits include stress resistance, increased insulin sensitivity, reduced morbidity, and increased life span.

Many genes under RpoS control confer stress resistance to assaults such as DNA damage, presence of reactive oxygen species and osmotic stress.

Increased life span was generally correlated with increased stress resistance including increased oxidative stress resistance [ 9, 10].

Increased formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) within the mitochondria may cause an adaptive reaction which produces increased stress resistance and a long-term reduction of oxidative stress.

But there are many other metabolic effects that have been associated with CR, including altered insulin sensitivity and signaling, stress resistance, altered neuroendocrine function, and changes in nutrient signaling.

In addition to its direct antioxidant effects, ascorbic acid is also a substrate for the redox enzyme ascorbate peroxidase, a function that is particularly important in stress resistance in plants.

Sirtuins have been implicated in influencing a wide range of cellular processes like aging, transcription, apoptosis, inflammation and stress resistance, as well as energy efficiency and alertness during low-calorie situations.

This has led to suggestions that increased oxidative stress resistance and decreased amounts of oxidative damage may be the mechanism by which mutation of the insulin-like signaling pathway causes increased life span.

Molecular and cellular mechanisms of plant ion transport, mineral exchange, radionuclide uptake from the soil, signaling and early events in stress response leading to plant stress resistance or programmed cell death.

In recent studies, PS has been shown to enhance mood in a cohort of young people during mental stress and to improve accuracy during tee-off by increasing the stress resistance of golfers.

These traits include improved shelf life, disease resistance, stress resistance, herbicide resistance, pest resistance, production of useful goods such as biofuel or drugs, and ability to absorb toxins, for use in bioremediation of pollution.

Second, mutants were identified on the basis of the phenotype of increased life span under normal conditions, as opposed to some surrogate phenotype expected to correlate with life span, such as increased stress resistance.

Conservatives Gain 6 Seats President Botha, whose campaign stressed resistance to Western pressures for racial liberalization and resentment of American sanctions, is expected to claim a strong mandate for his brand of cautious change.

Consistent with its role as the master controller of the bacterial stress response, RpoS regulates the expression of stress-response genes that fall into various functional categories: stress resistance, cell morphology, metabolism, virulence and lysis.

Due to their low metabolism and accompanying stress resistance, echidnas are long-lived for their size; the longest recorded lifespan for a captive echidna is 50 years, with anecdotal accounts of wild individuals reaching 45 years.
