REST and Stress Resistance in the Aging Kidney
Journal of the American Society of Nephrology, 2021Significance Statement Aging slowly alters kidney function, with progressive nephron reduction leading to metabolic and mechanical constraints for the remaining nephrons. Podocytes, due to their anatomic location, are particularly exposed to aging-related stress.

Resistance of aged cells to virus replication
Experimental Gerontology, 1979Abstract The phenomenon of resistance of aged cells to virus replication was investigated in aged L929 cell monolayers infected with Semliki Forest virus. By inhibiting the production and action of interferon, we showed that only about one-third of the 4·5 log restriction in virus replication could be attributed to the antiviral activity of the ...

Sports Medicine, 2000
Insulin resistance, a reduction in the rate of glucose disposal elicited by a given insulin concentration, is present in individuals who are obese, and those with diabetes mellitus, and may develop with aging. Methods which are utilised to measure insulin sensitivity include the hyperinsulinaemic-euglycaemic and hyperglycaemic clamps and the ...

Headlight Glare Resistance and Driver Age
Proceedings of the Human Factors Society Annual Meeting, 1978The physiological glare thresholds (defined as the logarithm of the ratio at threshold between illuminances of glare source and target background) of 148 subjects from 5 to 91 years of age were measured in a Wolf glare tester. The data can be represented by a power function: (physiological glare threshold) =—3 × 10

Vascular Dysfunction and Insulin Resistance in Aging
Current Vascular Pharmacology, 2019: Insulin was discovered in 1922 by Banting and Best. Since that time, extensive research on the mechanisms of insulin activity and action has continued. Currently, it is known that the role of insulin is much greater than simply regulating carbohydrate metabolism.

Insulin-resistance (IR) in older age
Archives of Gerontology and Geriatrics, 2008A study pool of 1549 normoglycemic elderly in the age range of 65-84 years, taken from the epidemiological Italian Longitudinal Study on Aging (ILSA), was constructed. The values of IR, %B and %S were analyzed using the homeostasis assessment model-2 (HOMA-2).

Antimicrobial resistance surveillance in the genomic age
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2016The loss of effective antimicrobials is reducing our ability to protect the global population from infectious disease. However, the field of antibiotic drug discovery and the public health monitoring of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is beginning to exploit the power of genome and metagenome sequencing.

Terrorism and the Internet: Resistance in the Information Age
Knowledge, Technology & Policy, 2003The purpose of this paper is to document the relationship between technology and terrorism. The discussion will focus on the Internet, in an attempt to discover whether the threat of insurgency is justification for the increasingly restrictive privacy of Internet users.

Age-Related Insulin Resistance; A Review
Hormone Research, 2008Impaired glucose tolerance occurs with age. This impairment is multifactorial including a decrease in insulin-mediated glucose uptake by peripheral tissues and a delay in insulin-induced suppression of hepatic glucose output. A post-binding defect in insulin action such as a reduced capacity to transcribe more glucose transporter mRNA and/or a reduced ...

Resistance in the Age of Trump
2018This chapter uses the book’s previous arguments to inquire into American citizens’ and officials’ present political obligations under President Donald Trump. Citizens are bound by the natural duty of justice, the principle of fairness, the Samaritan duty, and political association to resist the various injustices threatened or enacted by Trump’s ...
