BUFFALO, NY — May 13, 2025 — A new #research paper was #published in Aging (Aging-US) Volume 17, Issue 4, on April 7, 2025, titled “Pharmacological recapitulation of the lean phenotype induced by the lifespan-extending sulfur amino acid-restricted diet.” In this study, the research team, led by first author Naidu B. Ommi and corresponding author Sailendra N. Nichenametla from the Orentreich Foundation for the Advancement of Science Inc., investigated whether the drug buthionine sulfoximine (BSO) could replicate the effects of sulfur amino acid restriction (SAAR), a challenging diet known to reduce obesity. The study found that BSO produced similar reductions in fat mass and weight gain. This drug-based approach may offer a simpler and safer treatment for obesity, especially for those unable to follow strict dietary plans. Obesity and metabolic disorders raise the risk of chronic illnesses like heart disease, diabetes, and Alzheimer's disease. While SAAR, a diet low in the amino-acids methionine and cysteine, has shown powerful health benefits in animal studies, its translation to humans has been limited by adherence challenges. This new study explored whether BSO, a compound that lowers glutathione (GSH) levels in the body, could mimic SAAR's effects without dietary restriction. Researchers tested four groups of obese mice on high-fat diets. One group received the SAAR diet, another was given a regular diet plus BSO, while two control groups received either no treatment or a supplement that increased GSH levels. The BSO-treated mice showed lower fat mass, reduced liver fat, and prevented weight gain, results comparable to those on the SAAR diet. These benefits occurred without reducing food intake or muscle mass, making BSO a particularly promising treatment option. “BSO mice exhibited all SAAR-induced changes, with two notable differences, i.e., a smaller effect size than that of the SAAR diet and a higher predilection for molecular changes in kidneys than in the liver.” Additional findings revealed that both the SAAR diet and BSO influenced metabolic activity by activating pathways related to fat storage, but they did so in different organs. The SAAR diet had stronger effects in the liver, while BSO acted more in the kidneys. Both interventions increased levels of the amino acid serine, which is associated with lower fat production. Unlike many obesity treatments that suppress appetite or reduce muscle, BSO helped prevent fat accumulation while preserving lean mass and food consumption. No signs of liver or kidney toxicity were observed during the 13-week study, suggesting the drug's safety at the tested dose. Since BSO has previously been evaluated in human clinical trials for other conditions, repurposing it for metabolic diseases may be relatively straightforward. However, the researchers point out that there should be further studies in both animals and humans. If successful, this strategy could provide a practical alternative to difficult-to-maintain diets and help more people manage weight long-term.

Barbara was bij een boekpresentatie over labels als adhd en autisme. Ze werd geraakt door een vrouw die zei dat ze het idee had dat ze de gebruiksaanwijzing van het leven niet ontvangen had. Dit leidt in de podcast tot een discussie over in hoeverre we mogen afwijken van de norm en wat het nut van labels eigenlijk is. Een stuk luchtiger is ons gesprek over kringloopwinkels. Femke wil ze graag reten, omdat zij er nooit een schat vindt en een beetje gruwt van gebruikte spullen. Gijsje en Barbara zijn dol op scharrelen in kringloopwinkels; Gijsje heeft er zelfs een prachtige jurk gevonden en Barbara richtte haar nieuwe caravan in met kringloopspullen. We lezen een fragment uit een column van Cindy Hoetmer over de lol van jong zijn en de geneugten van ouder zijn. Er komen herinneringen voorbij over Els die als 60-jarige naar hartelust kon flirten. Onze gast is oud-hoofdredacteur van Nouveau Claudia Straatmans. Sinds een aantal jaar is zij mantelzorger voor haar moeder en over dat proces, en wat het in Claudia's leven teweegbracht, schreef zij het boek Opeens mantelzorger.

Gijsjes gebit is keihard in verval, dus de tandarts haalde haar flink door de mangel. Inmiddels heeft ze een bitje met twee nieuwe kiezen en slisssst ze zich een weg door het leven. Barbara besefte deze week hoe eenzaam mensen die diëten zich moeten voelen en Femke schaamt zich omdat ze altijd zo moeilijk doet als haar man voorstelt om met een ander stel te gaan eten. Onze gast is de geweldige en openhartige Kirsten Jassies. Ze brak een tijdje geleden haar huwelijk open en zowel zij als haar man kregen een nieuwe partner. Nu zit ze keihard in de menopauze, is haar huwelijk geëindigd en heeft ze afscheid genomen van haar vriend. Of toch niet?SuperbraOp zoek naar de perfecte bh (in de juiste maat)?

In 2022, OpenAI, Inc. launched a free version of its software ChatGPT, ushering in a new phase in the widespread use of artificial intelligence. Since then, a constant stream of breakthroughs in AI tech by a handful of companies has made clear that artificial intelligence will reshape our planet more profoundly and more quickly than many of us imagined.Some of these promised changes are thrilling. Just as many, it seems, are terrifying. So, how should we think about the impact AI will have on us all, especially when it comes to the most fundamental questions of humanity's shared future? According to Watson Institute Senior Fellow Malika Saada Saar, to make sure AI serves us all, we can't be too scared of it. In fact, it's all of our responsibility to use it and understand it. “It's important that all of us be able to have curiosity about the technology and to be able to interact with it. Because if the fourth industrial revolution becomes technology that's only utilized by the few, it's very dangerous,” Saar told Dan Richards on this episode of “Trending Globally.” Saar is a human rights lawyer who, before coming to Watson, served as the Global Head of Human Rights for YouTube. On this episode, Dan Richards spoke with her about how human rights law intersects with big tech and about the risks and opportunities AI poses for the future of human rights.

Hamburg war und ist so wenig wie Berlin eine Karnevals-, Faschings- oder Fastnachtmetropole, weshalb der Hamburgische Correspondent am 23. Februar 1925 sich selbstredend extra muros umtun muss, um seiner Leserschaft ein wenig fünfte Jahreszeit ins Haus flattern zu lassen. Die Autorin Liesbet Dill stammt immerhin von der Saar, weshalb sie entsprechend Expertise mitbringt, zu erläutern, was am Karneval spezifisch rheinisch sei und warum sie die Norddeutschen und interessanterweise auch die Süddeutschen diesbezüglich für wenig talentiert hält. Das meiste, was sie zu berichten weiß, kommt dem rheinischen Straßenkarneval, wie man ihn von heute kennt oder zu kennen meint, relativ nahe. Nur vom 11.11. ist noch nicht die Rede, als Beginn des bunten Treibens markiert der Text noch nach alter Sitte den 6. Januar. Für uns ins närrische Getümmel gestürzt hat sich, nein, nicht der Rheinländer Frank Riede, sondern die Berlinerin Rosa Leu.

Saar (42) kan alleen maar hollen of stilstaan. Drie jaar geleden kreeg ze borstkanker en is ze intensief behandeld. Ze werkt sindsdien hard om weer fit te zijn, cognitief alles aan te kunnen, een leuke moeder en partner te zijn en goed werk te leveren. Tegelijkertijd voelt ze dat ze liever voor zichzelf zou moeten zijn en rust moet nemen, maar er zit een ontembare drang in haar om altijd maar door te stomen.
Gijsje en Femke hadden een saaie doch prima week met veel leggen en kijken. Het enige event dat Femke te binnen schiet was een knetterende ruzie met haar partner. Gelukkig kwam daar wel een uitermate fijne oplossing uit voort. We reten analoog tv kijken, wat Gijsje samen met haar vriendinnen doet bij programma's als Wie is de mol en Winter vol liefde zodat ze lekker kunnen appen over de kandidaten en allerhande theorieën. Ons fragment van deze week komt uit de komende Saar en drukt ons met de neus op de feiten dat niet iedereen een geboren docent is. (Ervaringsdeskundige Gijsje zegt overigens tegen alle 50+'ers die op zoek zijn naar zingeving: gewoon proberen, het is de moeite waard, wie weet ben jij die ruwe diamant!). Te gast is schrijfster Teus Lebbing die een boek schreef over schaamte, hoe dat je tegenhoudt in voluit leven en wat je kunt doen om het van je af te werpen.

A casi 14 meses de la única tregua en la guerra entre Israel y Hamás, un nuevo acuerdo aparece posible de lograr esta misma semana. En aquel único alto el fuego alcanzado entre ambos bandos, a finales de noviembre de 2023, se canjearon 105 rehenes retenidos por Hamás en Gaza por 240 presos palestinos de cárceles israelíes. Un alto cargo palestino, así como el ministro israelí de Relaciones Exteriores, Gideon Saar, mencionaron avances en las conversaciones indirectas que se desarrollan en Catar. "Israel realmente desea liberar a los rehenes y se esfuerza por llegar a un acuerdo. Las negociaciones avanzan", declaró Saar. "La actual ronda de negociaciones es la más seria y la más profunda, y ha permitido realizar progresos significativos", afirmó a su vez el representante palestino bajo condición de anonimato. Según el presidente saliente de EEUU, Joe Biden, se está "a punto" de alcanzarse un acuerdo de tregua entre Israel y Hamás. "Los palestinos merecen paz y el derecho a determinar sus propios futuros. Israel merece paz y seguridad real. Y los rehenes y sus familias merecen reunirse. Así que estamos trabajando urgentemente para cerrar este acuerdo. Y mientras tratamos con los desafíos mediáticos, en mi opinión, tenemos que mirar hacia el futuro. Le pido a la próxima administración que continúe adelante". A pesar de estos avances, más de 50 personas murieron ayer en distintos bombardeos en Ciudad de Gaza, en el norte de la franja, indicaron los rescatistas locales. ¿Cómo se está dando este acercamiento entre las partes? ¿Qué rol está jugando el equipo del presidente electo Donald Trump? Conversamos En Perspectiva con Ricardo Barboza, capitán de Navío (R), licenciado en Relaciones Internacionales, docente y parte del equipo de La Hora Global en Radiomundo.

The Automotive Troublemaker w/ Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier
Shoot us a Text.With just 2 weekends left in the year, we're excited to share that the automotive industry is set up for an excellent finish to 2024. Meanwhile, Ford is ramping down its F-150 Lightning production until the new year to meet demand, and Gen Z may just save the malls.Show Notes with links:The automotive industry is gearing up for a solid 2024 finish as inventories stabilize and aggressive year-end deals lure buyers back to showrooms. Analysts remain optimistic about continued momentum into 2025, despite policy uncertainties.Total 2024 sales are projected at 15.8–15.9 million vehicles, a solid increase from 15.6 million in 2023. December's seasonally adjusted annual rate (SAAR) is expected to reach 17.2 million, the highest since 2021.General Motors is likely to hold its position as the top U.S. automaker, with Honda having the most gains, overtaking Stellantis in market share due to Stellantis' estimated 15% sales drop.Retail leasing activity is up 19% YoY, fueled by record-high EV incentives averaging $8,202 per transaction. EV sales are forecasted to grow 12% in Q4, contributing to the year's estimated 8% EV market share.Despite falling interest rates (below 7% for the first time in a year), high vehicle prices push average monthly payments to $740—a $15 increase over last year and $150 higher than in 2019."We've gone from ‘wait to buy' to a new marching cry of ‘buy now before prices and rates climb again,'” says Jonathan Smoke, chief economist at Cox Automotive.Ford has announced a temporary production pause for its F-150 Lightning until January 6, 2025. The decision reflects a strategic adjustment to align supply with actual market demand as the EV industry navigates a period of slower-than-expected growth.Ford sold 22,807 F-150 Lightnings in 2024, marking an 86% increase from last year. This performance places it well ahead of competitors like Chevrolet's Silverado EV (5,252 units) and Rivian's R1T (10,387 units).The pause at Ford's Dearborn, Michigan plant is designed to prevent overproduction and ensure dealerships are not overstocked with unsold inventory.Ford's strategy acknowledges that EV adoption is not growing as fast as earlier projections suggested, requiring automakers to balance innovation with market-driven production levels.As a Ford spokesperson explained: "We continue to adjust production for an optimal mix of sales growth and profitability."In a talk at the NeurIPS 2024 AI conference, former OpenAI Chief Scientist Ilya Sutskever reflected on the foundational 2014 paper that shaped modern AI—and looked ahead to where AI is going next.The era of pre-training is ending as AI is running out of quality internet data, marking the end of "Peak Data." As Sutskever put it, "Data is the fossil fuel of AI."Sutskever says we should expect smarter AI agents, synthetic training data, and models that think more like humans And that future AIs could have true reasoning, self-awareness, and unpredictable decision-making.Hosts: Paul J Daly and Kyle MountsierGet the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/ Read our most recent email at: https://www.asotu.com/media/push-back-email
Jack Moran joined us nearly two years ago to discuss his extensive combat as an infantryman in Europe during World War II. Today, he returns for another conversation as we hear new details about his service at the Battle of the Bulge and the Saar Valley, plus crossing the Siegfried Line and the Rhine River.In this edition of Veterans Chronicles, Moran tells us about the deadly frustration of facing German Tiger Tanks, which inflicted devastation from Moran's very first moments in battle. He explains why the Tiger Tanks were so effective and why they were hard to counter.Moran also takes us to the Battle of the Bulge, focusing on the six days that he and his platoon were surrounded by Germans in a very small area with no new supplies coming in and the brutally cold temperatures making simple survival a challenge. He tells us how they held off the Germans and how they eventually escaped.He also tells us about the deadly impact of German snipers as the Americans prepared to cross the Rhine.

Earth has already warmed by almost 1.2 degrees Celsius (2.2 degrees Fahrenheit) since preindustrial times, and the planet is poised to race past the hoped-for limit of 1.5 degrees Celsius of warming. But fewer people know that burning fossil fuels doesn't just cause global warming - it also causes global cooling.
