Long-Term Estrogen Receptor Beta Agonist Treatment Modifies the Hippocampal Transcriptome in Middle-Aged Ovariectomized Rats. [PDF]
Estradiol (E2) robustly activates transcription of a broad array of genes in the hippocampal formation of middle-aged ovariectomized rats via estrogen receptors (ERalpha, ERbeta, and G protein-coupled ER).

Klotho Regulates Club Cell Senescence and Differentiation in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
We speculated lack of Klotho (KL) would aggravate club cell senescence, which contributes to COPD inflammation. In this study, we collected chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) lung tissue using single‐cell RNA sequencing (scRNA‐seq), revealing club cell heterogeneity and cellular senescence in COPD.

Klotho controls the brain-immune system interface in the choroid plexus. [PDF]
Located within the brain's ventricles, the choroid plexus produces cerebrospinal fluid and forms an important barrier between the central nervous system and the blood.

Atherothrombosis and Oxidative Stress: Mechanisms and Management in Elderly [PDF]
Significance: The incidence of cardiovascular events (CVEs) increases with age, representing the main cause of death in an elderly population. Aging is associated with overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which may affect clotting and ...

Our research shows different post‐surgical patters in GDF15 and FGF21 concentrations following Roux‐en‐Y gastric bypass. GDF15 levels increase significantly in patients with obesity and normoglycemia and in those with obesity and impaired glucose tolerance or type 2 diabetes, while FGF21 concentrations significantly decrease in patients with obesity ...

Klotho protein is recognized as having a renoprotective effect and is used as a biomarker for kidney injury. We investigated the level of Klotho protein in hyperoxaluria-induced kidney injury and the effects of vitamin E (Vit E) and vitamin C (Vit C) supplementation.

Establishment of sandwich ELISA for soluble alpha-Klotho measurement: Age-dependent change of soluble alpha-Klotho levels in healthy subjects [PDF]
Background α-Klotho (αKl) regulates mineral metabolism such as calcium ion (Ca2+) and inorganic phosphate (Pi) in circulation. Defects in mice result in clinical features resembling disorders found in human aging.

Molecular mechanism for transcriptional regulation of the parathyroid hormone gene by Epiprofin
The secretion of parathyroid hormone (PTH) from the chief cells in the parathyroid glands is regulated by the concentration of extracellular calcium. Epiprofin (Epfn) expression is induced by NFATc2 in response to elevated serum calcium, and Epfn negatively regulates PTH production.

Klotho: An antiaging protein involved in mineral and vitamin D metabolism [PDF]
Klotho gene mutation leads to a syndrome strangely resembling chronic kidney disease patients undergoing dialysis with multiple accelerated age-related disorders, including hypoactivity, sterility, skin thinning, muscle atrophy, osteoporosis, vascular calcifications, soft-tissue calcifications, defective hearing, thymus atrophy, pulmonary emphysema ...

A protective role for FGF-23 in local defence against disrupted arterial wall integrity? [PDF]
Increasing interest is focusing on the role of the FGF-23/Klotho axis in mediating vascular calcification. However, the underpinning mechanisms have yet to be fully elucidated. Murine VSMCs were cultured in calcifying medium for a 21d period. FGF-23 mRNA
