Sažetak
Recent studies on biomarkers of aging have shown that glycans are very promising biomarkers in aging research. According to the American Federation for Aging Research, any useful biomarker of aging must, among other criteria, predict the rate of aging and be a better predictor of life span than chronological age alone ; also it must be testable repeatedly without harming the person (or animal). Certain contemporary studies suggest that aerobic exercise training is anti-inflammatory and might counter the age-associated decline in immune function, referred to as immunosenescence. A unique study of the effects of physical activity is currently implemented by the Faculty of Kinesiology University of Zagreb, in which the GlycanAge test is used to thoroughly and scientifically investigate the many times proven benefits of physical activity.
