L-Theanine Extends the Lifespan of <i>Caenorhabditis elegans</i> by Reducing the End Products of Advanced Glycosylation by Zhihang Huang, Haiming Jing, Yan Pan, Hongxia Cai, Wenjing Zhang, Jingyuan Zhu, Nan Zhang, Dan Wu, Wentao Xu, Hexiang Qiu, Huihui Bao, Guojun Li, Junyu Ning, Bo Xian, Shan Gao

“…Through an AGE-level analysis, we observed that L-theanine, when administered during early adulthood, notably extended the lifespan of <i>Caenorhabditis elegans</i> under both normal and high-glucose-induced stress conditions. L-theanine enhanced the lifespan under typical conditions and provided protective effects against high-glucose-induced stress. …”

The effects of ultra-selective beta1-antagonism on the metabolic and cytokine profile in septic shock patients receiving noradrenaline: a sub-investigation from the STRESS-L Random... by Jarrod L. Thomas, Kirsty C. McGee, Anower Hossain, Gavin D. Perkins, Anthony C. Gordon, Duncan Young, Danny McAuley, Mervyn Singer, Ranjit Lall, Tina Kramaric, Janet M. Lord, Tony Whitehouse, Luis A. J. Mur, for the STRESS-L. collaborators

“…Following adjusted analysis for confounders, plasma metabolite concentrations remained statistically different between landiolol and standard care arms for succinic acid, l-tryptophan, l-alanine, 2,2,2-trichloroethanol, lactic acid and d-glucose. Conclusions In a study of ICU patients with established septic shock and a tachycardia, landiolol treatment used to reduce the heart rate from above 95 to a range between 80 and 94 beats per minute did not induce significant cytokine changes. d-Glucose, lactic acid, succinic acid, l-alanine, l-tryptophan and trichloroethanol were pathways that may merit further investigation. …”
