    Exercise as a protective mechanism against the negative effects of oxidative stress in first-episode psychosis: a biomarker-led study

    First-episode psychosis (FEP) is a psychiatric disorder, characterised by positive and negative symptoms, usually emerging during adolescence and early adulthood. FEP represents an early intervention opportuni...

    Inflammation Mediates Body Weight and Ageing Effects on Psychomotor Slowing

    Inflammation (immune system activation) affects neuronal function and may have consequences for the efficiency and speed of functional brain processes. Indeed, unusually slow psychomotor speed, a measure predi...

    Three months of moderate-intensity exercise reduced plasma 3-nitrotyrosine in rheumatoid arthritis patients

    Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients display high levels of oxidative stress. Transient exercise-induced increases in oxidative stress are thought to be adaptive in healthy populations. This study investigated t...

    Plasma irisin levels predict telomere length in healthy adults

    The ageing process is strongly influenced by nutrient balance, such that modest calorie restriction (CR) extends lifespan in mammals. Irisin, a newly described hormone released from skeletal muscles after exer...

    Rudimentary signs of immunosenescence in Cytomegalovirus-seropositive healthy young adults

    Ageing is associated with a decline in immune competence termed immunosenescence. In the elderly, this process results in an accumulation of differentiated ‘effector’ phenotype memory T cells, predominantly dr...

    The interactions of oxidative stress and inflammation with vascular dysfunction in ageing: the vascular health triad

    Oxidative stress and inflammation are increased with advancing age. Evidence suggests that oxidative stress and inflammation both lead to impaired vascular function. There is also evidence to suggest that infl...
