Highlights from ARDD 2024

I don’t find 2024 up on youtube yet, but hopefully it will appear.

Thanks for sharing. The most interesting part for me was:

Associations of various factors with organ-specific aging can be measured. Smoking, unsurprisingly, is associated with increased aging in all organs. Alcohol consumption, on the other hand, produced mixed results: while it’s obviously bad for kidneys and the intestine, it’s good for the lungs and arteries.

Weird that the effect of alcohol on the liver is so variable (and neutral on average). Perhaps it was the low dose.

The liver is better at regeneration. I think this is probably because it takes a lot of citrate from serum through the SLC13A5 citrate carrier.

I am interested in the question of the balance of harm from acetaldehyde and ethanol. Acetate is generally good although I would always be careful consuming too many naked protons.

More recently I have been in the habit of taking 2-3g of panetethine, 1g of DHM and 200mg of melatonin just as i start drinking.

I think this reduces quite a bit of harm.
