BIOL 1080 Lecture Notes - Lecture 3: High-Level Data Link Control, Homeostasis, Sarcopenia
Document Summary
Trajectory: healthspan vs. lifespan: how long do i have to live (lifespan, how long will i be living a healthy, independent lifestyle (healthspan, health span estimated at about 72 years. Other biomarkers: muscle mass, blood glucose, oxygen uptake. Age related loss of muscle mass - sarcopenia. Up to 1% per loss year after age 40. Reconsidering blood glucose from a time perspective - hours. Individual a has normal blood glucose stuff, individual b has much large glucose response - which individual has poor glucose tolerance/isulin resistance. Individual b: usually a standardized oral glucose load of 75 grams in a crummy tasting prang beverage called. Trutol - its like drinking flat orange crush: but the cost - 2 hours x /hour x susceptible population exceed billion annually. Reconsidering blood glucose from a time perspective - months: glycosylated hemoglobin. Will there be a new era in biomarkers: 1. Networks within organs are perturbed during disease states: 2.
