Majid Ali, M.D. Insulin – The Life Span Hormone Series of Free Oxygen Course Series Insulin – The Premium Life Span Hormone Human life span is put in jeopardy by disruptions of molecular biology of oxygen and insulin homeostasis; life expectancy of an individual is shortened by diminished signaling of the former1-8 as well as by excessive signaling of
Read moreOxygen homeostasis determines the state of health. Disruption of oxygen homeostasis lead to absence of health and disease. Impeded Oxygen Signaling I coined the term oxygen signaling for all cues and commands given by oxygen, or its absence, to cells and tissues for energetic, buoilding or dismantling reactions. Impeded oxygen signaling is the fundamental energetic-molecular derangement in all

It is the primary “energy-nutrient” molecule of human biology. It is an exquisitely discriminating regulator of all developmental, metabolic, and detoxification mechanisms. It is the weapon of transcending importance in
Read moreMajid Ali, M.D. I coined the term oxygen signaling to refer to all biological roles of oxygen in which the presence or absence of oxygen triggers, perpetuates, modifies, suppresses, or terminates biologic reactions with or without direct involvement of energy generation, utilization, conservation, or storage. Oxygen Is the Organizing Principle of Human Biology and Governs the Aging Process In started

The degree and extent of oxidative changes, of course, varies over a broad range depending on the number and the nature of oxidative stressors. During the early months of our work with AA oxidopathy, we
