Aqueous humor samples were collected during trabeculectomy surgery or cataract surgery and analyzed with global metabolomics. We included 40 patients with glaucoma (32 with POAG, 8 with NTG) and 37 control subjects in a discovery study.

This dilemma in question involves the challenge of selecting between a familiar option with a more predictable outcome, and another option whose outcome is uncertain and may yield potentially greater rewards compared to the known option. The aim of this study was to combine experimental procedures and computational modeling to examine whether, in older adults with mild neurocognitive disorders, apathy affects performance in the exploration-exploitation dilemma. Through using a four-armed bandit reinforcement-learning task, we showed that apathetic older adults explored more and performed worse than non-apathetic subjects. Moreover, the mental flexibility assessed by the Trail-making test-B was negatively associated with the percentage of exploration. These results suggest that apathy is characterized by an increased explorative behavior and inefficient decision-making, possibly due to weak mental flexibility to switch toward the exploitation of the more rewarding options. Apathetic participants also took longer to make a choice and failed more often to respond in the allotted time, which could reflect the difficulties in action initiation and selection.

To date, little is known about age-related changes in the entrainment of peripheral clocks to external cues. We therefore evaluated the ability of the peripheral clocks of the kidney, liver, and submandibular gland to be entrained by external stimuli including light, food, stress, and exercise in young versus aged mice using in vivo bioluminescence monitoring. Despite a decline in locomotor activity, peripheral clocks in aged mice exhibited normal oscillation amplitudes under light–dark, constant darkness, and simulated jet lag conditions, with some abnormal phase alterations. However, age-related impairments were observed in peripheral clock entrainment to stress and exercise stimuli. Conversely, age-related enhancements were observed in peripheral clock entrainment to food stimuli and in the display of food anticipatory behaviors. Finally, we evaluated the hypothesis that deficits in sympathetic input from the central clock located in the suprachiasmatic nucleus of the hypothalamus were in part responsible for age-related differences in the entrainment. Aged animals showed an attenuated entrainment response to noradrenergic stimulation as well as decreased adrenergic receptor mRNA expression in target peripheral organs. Taken together, the present findings indicate that age-related circadian disorganization in entrainment to light, stress, and exercise is due to sympathetic dysfunctions in peripheral organs, while meal timing produces effective entrainment of aged peripheral circadian clocks. Aging decreases day-night fluctuations of physiological functions in our body including sleep-wake cycle. Time-keeping mechanism of our clock is event of “entrainment” to daily environmental cues such as light-dark and food. Shigenobu Shibata from Waseda University in Japan and colleagues investigated a hallmark of age-related change of the circadian clock entrainment system by using non-invasive mouse peripheral clock imaging method. They found that weakened sympathetic regulations in aged animals attenuated internal clock information signaling between central and peripheral clocks, and caused the reduction of light-or exercise/stress-induced clock entrainment, but improved food-induced entrainment. Because circadian clock has an important role for homeostasis, investigating properties of entrainment ability will help us to find good medication strategy for age-related decline of physiological function.","PeriodicalId":94160,"journal":{"name":"npj aging","volume":"3 1","pages":"1-11"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-01-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1038/npjamd.2016.30","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"35179793","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Notwithstanding, little is known about the cellular buffer and redox systems in aging Saccharomyces cerevisiae, which is a model for aging stem cells. Using genetically encoded fluorescent sensors, we measured pH, H2O2 levels and the glutathione redox potential compartment-specific in the cytosol of living, replicatively aging yeast cells, growing under fermenting and respiratory conditions until the end of their lifespan. We found that the pH decreases under both conditions at later stages of the replicative lifespan. H2O2 levels increase in fermenting cells in the post-replicative stage, but increase continuously with age in respiring cells. The glutathione redox couple becomes also more oxidizing in respiring cells but surprisingly more reducing under fermenting conditions. In strains deleted for the gene encoding glutathione reductase Glr1, such a reduction of the glutathione redox couple with age is not observed. We demonstrate that in vivo Glr1 is activated at lower pH explaining the reduced glutathione potential. The deletion of glr1 dramatically increases the glutathione redox potential especially under respiratory conditions but does not reduce lifespan. Our data demonstrate that pH and the glutathione redox couple is linked through Glr1 and that yeast cells can cope with a high glutathione redox potential without impact on longevity. Our data further suggest that a breakdown of cellular energy metabolism marks the end of replicative lifespan in yeast. Accumulating reactive oxygen species were proposed as leading cause of aging. Moreover, increasing pH in vacuole and cytosol was suggested to contribute to replicative aging in yeast, considered to be a model for aging stem cells. Here we investigated how cytosolic pH, H2O2 levels, and the glutathione redox buffer changes in aging yeast, using genetically encoded fluorescent probes and a newly developed flow-cytometry based aging assay. We found that pH decreases and H2O2 increases at the end of the replicative lifespan; but, surprisingly, the glutathione redox potential became more reducing in fermenting aged yeast cells in a glutareductase Glr1 dependent manner. Glr1 deletion leads to a highly oxidized cytosol but does not influence the replicative lifespan in liquid culture. Instead the end of lifespan seems to be marked by a break down of energy metabolism.","PeriodicalId":94160,"journal":{"name":"npj aging","volume":"2 1","pages":"1-11"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1038/npjamd.2016.28","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"35179791","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
