In recent years, many studies have been conducted on the role of this protein in the development of various age-related diseases. However, there are very few studies on the effect of the Klotho protein on sleep disorders. We conducted a cross-sectional comparative study in which we examined the levels of Klotho protein in 27 men with severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The average age of the patients was 54 [43; 59] years. The control group included 15 men selected according to the «copy-pair» principle. We used standard polysomnography to objectively assess the quantitative characteristics of sleep and respiration. Severe OSA was 0diagnosed if the apnea/hypopnea index exceeded 30 events per hour and was accompanied by significant desaturation. To determine the protein level, we used enzyme immunoassay with a commercial SEH757Hu kit manufactured by «Cloud-Clone Corp.» (USA). The data is presented as a median, upper and lower quartiles. The Mann-Whitney U-test was used to compare the indicators between the groups. When comparing groups based on qualitative characteristics, the chi-square (χ2) criterion was used, with the Yates' correction for continuity applied. In the case of a small number of observation units (0 to 5, inclusive, in one of the compared groups), the Fisher's exact test was applied. The results showed that patients with severe OSA had significantly lower levels of klotho protein compared to the control group.</p>","PeriodicalId":35293,"journal":{"name":"Advances in gerontology = Uspekhi gerontologii / Rossiiskaia akademiia nauk, Gerontologicheskoe obshchestvo","volume":"38 3","pages":"365-370"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145422924","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One of the approaches to compensate for the TH deficiency may be the use of allosteric agonists of the TSH receptor, including the compound TPY3m developed by us. The aim of the work was to study its effect on the thyroid status in aging (18 months) male Wistar rats with and without obesity in comparison with thyroliberin (TRH), which increases the level of TSH in the blood. Obesity was induced by a 12-week high-fat diet (from the age of 15 months), TPY3m was administered at a dose of 20 mg/kg (i.p.), and TRH at a dose of 100 μg/rat (intranasally). The levels of free thyroxine (fT4), free and total triiodothyronine (fT3, tT3) and TSH were determined using ELISA. In aging rats without obesity (С18), no significant changes in thyroid status were found compared to young rats (5 months, С5), with the exception of a decrease in the fT3 level. In aging obese animals (OB18), compared to С18, the levels of fT4 and fT3 were decreased, the level of TSH was increased (by 76%), and the integrated thyroid index (ITI) was decreased (by 58%), which indicates a weakening of TH synthesis and the development of thyroid resistance to TSH. TRH increased the levels of TH and TSH in all groups. However, the TRH-induced increase in the fT4 level in the C18+TRH group was lower than in C5+TRH, and in the OB18+TRH group it was lower than in C18+TRH. In the OB18+TRH group, a tendency towards a decrease in the TRH-induced increase in fT3 was also shown. At the same time, the stimulating effect of TPY3m on TH levels in all studied groups of animals was characterized by stability and did not depend on diet and age. This indicates that the magnitude of the stimulatory effects of TPY3m on TH levels and TSH receptor sensitivity in rats is maintained with age and obesity, suggesting that TPY3m may be useful for developing drugs to compensate for TH deficiency in aging and metabolic disorders.</p>","PeriodicalId":35293,"journal":{"name":"Advances in gerontology = Uspekhi gerontologii / Rossiiskaia akademiia nauk, Gerontologicheskoe obshchestvo","volume":"38 5","pages":"785-792"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147487450","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Objective: To investigate the potential of functional-topographic rapid diagnostics in identifying the early stages of T2DM in elderly patients by analyzing the brain's rhythmic activity. The examination was performed using the DgCTD-01 diagnostic system. The results of 96 studies involving patients with newly detected hyperglycemia and a control group were analyzed. The analysis revealed that patients with newly diagnosed hyperglycemia undergo a functional reorganization of autonomic nervous regulation, characterized by a more pronounced activation of the sympathetic division. Prognostically significant signs for the development of T2DM were identified: a specific alteration in the tonic activity of basic functions F1-F3, F6 in segments C*6-7, CVII-VIII, ThVI-VIII, LI, and SIII-IV. This pattern reflects an established pathogenetic scheme of dominant relationships within the central nervous system with an epicenter in the pancreatic zone. An informational characterization of the predictive weight was obtained for the following features: elevated blood glucose levels, increased glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels, and the development of T2DM.
