    Metabolic

    Aging

    Metabolic age is a

    comparison between

    a person's basal

    metabolic rate (BMR)

    against the average

    BMR for that persons

    age

    Calculate your BMR (basal metabolic rate): Women: BMR = 655 + ( 4.35 x weight in pounds ) + ( 4.7 x height in inches ) - ( 4.7 x age in years ) Men: BMR = 66 + ( 6.23 x weight in pounds ) + ( 12.7 x height in inches ) - ( 6.8 x age in years )

    Insulin Resistance and Metabolic SyndromeIn non-diabetic individuals, insulin

    resistance commonly clusters with:

    •upper body fat distribution

    •glucose intolerance

    •relative hypertension

    •dyslipidemia

    •age

    •sex

    •ethnicity

    •sub-clinical inflammation

    •circulating adipokines

    •intracellular lipid accumulation in liver

    and skeletal muscle

    •Strong association with Alzheimer’s

    disease

    •Growing association with CI in HIV

    Fatty Acid Oxidation

  • The NIMH Center for Novel Therapeutics of HIV-associated Cognitive DisordersThe NIMH Center for Novel Therapeutics of HIV-associated Cognitive Disorders

    β-oxidation of fatty acids

    ▪ Occurs largely in peroxisomes and mitochondria

    ▪ Inside the cell fatty acids are elongated, desaturated and conjugated with CoA

    ▪ Long-chain acyl-CoAs are converted to a long-chain Acyl carnithines for transport into mitochondria

    ▪ Inside mitochondria Acyl carnithines are converted back into long-chain acyl-CoAs

    ▪ Metabolized by β-oxidation into acetyl CoA for TCA cycle
