The work was headed by Eric Verdin’s lab of the Gladstone Institute of the University of California. The results show a new link between metabolic state and the control of gene expression. The results show that the ketone body β-hydroxybutyrate, produced during calorie restriction and strenuous exercise, is an endogenous and specific inhibitor of histone deacetylases (HDACs), a class of enzymes that regulate gene expression. In this case, β-hydroxybutyrate influences the expression of genes which protect against oxidative stress. This result may inform the link between extended lifespan and calorie-restricted diets in mice, and the benefits of exercise; both of which cause levels of D-β-hydroxybutyrate to rise.

Invites: Save money and resources by sending invites via email or text message. If it's a formal occasion, think postconsumer recycled paper for the invitations—it's paper made from old paper, so you're helping to complete the recycling loop. Decorations: Skip the paper and plastic and decorate with natural items from your yard—such as evergreens, pinecones, or seasonal houseplants. Or consider making your centerpiece an edible one with fruits, nuts, breads and holiday cookies. Party supplies: Use reusable dishes, utensils and cloth napkins. Rent or borrow items you won’t need more than once, like large punch bowls and chafing dishes. If you need to purchase items be sure that they are biodegradable or recyclable. Read more . . .
