    The first International ReGenera R&D International for Aging Intervention and VCC Preventive Medical Promotion Foundation has been a flashy success.

    It has been held in Beijing last June 8, having as topics Gut Microbiota and Health. The keynote speaker was prof. Marotta and the meeting features the most authoritative Asian specialists in the field.

    The conference room was fully packed and, most important, about 10.000 physicians and health professionals registered for a live attendance at distance.

    The event as covered by the most reputed national TV channels and in the next days a series of interviews followed up.

    The organizer, VCC Preventive Medical Promotion Foundation, given this success, is planning further similar top scientific gatherings this year in other locations.

    There was a general consensus on the importance to deepen our knowledge in this area as well ass starting providing practical steps forwards an evaluation and phenotypic monitoring of gut microbiota, while envisaging designer pro-prebiotics interventions.

Abstract

We assessed the effect of a sturgeon eggs-based nutraceutical (LD-1227) versus EPA/DHA on the ultrastructure of spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) aorta. Sixty SHR were randomly divided into three groups fed: a). rat chow; b) added with 10mg EPA/DHA; c) added with 10mg of LD-1227 for 18 weeks. Afterwards, the aorta was used for: blind measurements of thickened intima area and electron microscopic examination. Control SHR showed an expanded subendothelial space and leukocytes intima-infiltration which were reduced in LD-1227-fed rats (p<0.05) and less in EPA/DHA-group. TEM showed endothelial alteration with severe subcellular injury and, unlike EPA-DHA-group, LD-1227-treated rats displayed a significant reduction (p<0.05). These data suggest that LD-1227 has stronger arterial protective-properties and deserves further work in view of a preventive medicine strategy.
