131 | Arterial walls stiffen with age | — | López-Andrés et al. 2012 | 23172930 | — | — | — | — | — | Age-associated changes in blood vessels include the increase in inflammatory response, cell loss, inability to repair DNA damage, oncogene activation and regulation of telomere-telomerase complex [9-11]. Several age-associated structural, functional, and molecular changes occur in the arterial system. Aging is accompanied with thickening and dilatation of large arteries, extracellular matrix accumulation, calcium deposits, increased vascular stiffness, and endothelial dysfunction [12,13]. These alterations may be attributable to age-related functional changes in vascular cells [12]. Age-related arterial inflammatory phenotype includes increased expression of monocyte chemoattractant protein 1, intercellular adhesion molecule 1, matrix metalloproteinase-2 activity, or transforming growth factor-β expression [14,15]. Age-associated changes in blood vessels include a decrease in compliance, and increase in arterial stiffness and arterial wall thickening as a result of increased vascular calcifications, increased collagen content and cross-linking, and decreased elastin content [16,18].

127 | Accumulation of long-chain glycosphingolipids | 10090 | — | 21687659 | kidney | age | 17 month | 3 month | — | Measurement of sphingolipid profiles in young (3 months), middle aged (9 moths) and old (17 months) C57BL/6 mice in kidney reveals a dramatic elevations in long-chain hexosylceramides (HexCer) and lactosylceramides, with C14- and C16-lactosylcermaides (LacCers) elevated as much as 8 and 12-fold, respectively. Similar changes occur in liver and brain. DR prevents the decline in kidney function, inhibits the accumulation of long-chain HexCer/LacCers and and also prevents the age-associated elevation of enzymes involved in their synthesis [21687659]. |

59 | Deteriorarition of circadian rhytms | 10090 | Farajnia, et al 2012 | — | Suprachiasmatic Nucleus | age | 2 month | 30 month | — | Aged mice have disrupted sleep hevaiour and weakened brain network activity in the SCN. Aged SCN neurons lack day-night rhythms in some membrane properties. There is an age-related reductions of certain potassium currents that are import to the neuronâs rhythmic firing. Behavioral and sleep-wake rhythms exhibit a strong fragmentation, starting at the age of 700 d. Aged mice are deficient in membrane properties and GABAergic postsynaptic current amplitude. Aging mice selectively loss circadian modulation of fast-delayed-rectifer and A-type K+ currents. In aged mice at the tissue level, the phase synchrony of SCN neurons was grossly disturbed, with some subpopulations peaking in anti-phase and a reduction in amplitude of the overall multiunit activity rhythm. |

Its serum concentration declines with increasing age after 25 years and diminishes about 95% by 85 years. DHEA deficiency syndrome is a new term for old age [10495400]. |
