The topics
Six processes, six pages
Each process has its own page, with sources and links to PubMed.
The protection the body makes itself
Why the cells' most important protective substance gets scarcer with age
Cellular energyThe helper that gets scarcer with age
A small molecule without which almost nothing works in the cell
InflammationThe silent inflammation
An inflammation you cannot feel, and one that still matters
MetabolismThe switches in our metabolism
Enzymes that switch over when food is scarce, and a long debate
Cellular cleanupThe cell's waste collection
How the cell takes damaged parts apart and reuses them
Cellular ageingCells that won't leave
Why some cells stay even though they have stopped working
The field
Who does research in this field
Two research groups that currently shape the public discussion about ageing.
David Sinclair
Works on NAD⁺ metabolism and on the sirtuins. His lab has done much to spread the hypothesis that the epigenetic changes of ageing can be turned back.
Peter Attia
Puts the focus not on supplements but on rapamycin and on training plans. His central argument is VO₂max and strength training.
Naming them describes each group's position in the research field. It does not mean that either of these researchers recommends Novogenia products or works with Novogenia.
From the lab
Literature reviews
For each of the six topics, the Novogenia laboratory in Salzburg has written its own literature review. Together they cover about 90 referenced papers from PubMed.
- Oxidative stress
- Glutathione, glycine and cysteine
- Cellular energy
- NAD and its precursors
- Inflammation
- Curcumin and boswellic acids
- Metabolism
- Sirtuins, resveratrol and astaxanthin
- Cellular cleanup
- Spermidine and apigenin
- Cellular ageing
- Quercetin and related substances
