Towards a Better Understanding of Kothos
The search for longevity has long driven the human species throughout history. Whether looking at the Chinese Emperor’s, Qui Shi Huang, efforts to transform mercury into a longevity elixir, which ended up killing him, or Ponce de Leon’s 16th century failed search...
We Are What We Eat…Dietary Inflammatory Index and S-Klotho Plasma Levels in Middle-Aged Adults
A well-known adage, “we are what we eat” is taking on additional significance in the wake of studies that suggest inflammation owing to dietary inflammation can cause an uptick in age-associated diseases that are found to be chronic in patients. These ailments can...
Klotho Can Help Combat Aging
Aging is a continuous process that occurs throughout our whole existence. Science is keen on overcoming the process of aging for a stable life. Researchers are focused on evaluating human biochemistry to conclude the basics of aging and to figure out the methods to...
The Role of the Klotho Protein in the Aging Process: Genetically Preordained or a Random Process?
Genetics plays an incredibly important role in the growth and development of all living things. Reproduction, maturation, and internal bodily processes are regulated closely by genetic programs. Advantageous programs are preserved throughout Evolution....
The Relationship Between the Klotho Protein and Longevity
There has been a lot of research done during the past two years on a protein called Klotho. Discovered in mice in 1997, researchers found that a deficiency of this protein in mice caused them to age more quickly and die prematurely. As such, researchers believe...
Cracking the Aging Question with Klotho Therapy
Perhaps it is not surprising, particularly as we age, that the search for a “Fountain of Youth” becomes a more immediate task. That being said, however as Spanish explorer, Ponce de Leon can attest, finding that iconic body of water is a fool’s errand. Or is it? ...
Can Klotho Protein Prevent the Development of Alzheimer’s in Those at High Risk?
As people continue to live longer, certain medical conditions are going to become more common. This includes dementia, which can impact someone's cognitive abilities. One of the most common forms of dementia is Alzheimer's disease. Individuals who develop...
Tips for Raising Klotho Protein Levels
The Klotho protein occurs naturally in the human body. Scientists have been interested in this protein for years because of its links to anti-aging capabilities. Individuals with higher levels of this protein may have a slower aging process, have improved brain...
The Klotho Protein May Protect Individuals Against the Development of Alzheimer’s Disease
For years, scientists have been looking at the Klotho protein because of its potential ability to slow the aging process. Now, it appears that there might be a link between this protein and Alzheimer's disease. A recent study was conducted by the Boston University...
Klotho Early Biomarker for Chronic Kidney Disease
Klotho is defined as a transmembrane protein that is detected mainly in the brain and kidneys. Klotho is also expressed in kidney distal convoluted tubules and parathyroid cells, and it mediates the role of FGF-23 (a protein that is encoded by the FGF23 gene) in...
The Klotho Protein Has Promising Benefits Towards Neurodegenerative Disorders
The Klotho protein, which was discovered in 1997, was first noticed in transgenic mice. There is a mutation that showed up on this protein. This mutation indicated faster aging and ultimately a shorter lifespan. The four-week-old mice showed many premature signs of...
Fountain of Youth…Klotho: The Anti-Aging Gene
There has been a lot of focus recently on a specific protein called Klotho. It was first discovered in Japan approximately 20 years ago, and it has been a significant focus of the medical industry. A lot of people are paying attention to this protein because it may...
Biological Role of Anti-Aging Protein Klotho
Klotho is an anti-aging protein that is mostly detected in the kidney and brain. It was first identified in mice as an aging suppressor. Overexpression of this gene extends one's lifespan, while a deficiency can lead to aging faster or even early death. This gene...
Study Looks at the Relationship Between Klotho and Oocyte Development
Klotho protein has been studied extensively as a possible measure to reduce the impacts of aging; however, a recent study analyzed the antioxidant activity of the Klotho protein as it relates to reproductive signaling. Prior research has shown that this protein is...
