A (pricey) breath of fresh air for anti-aging research.
, a debilitating condition that eventually robs individuals of their independence by chipping away at their memory, motor functions, and ability to concentrate or learn.
The study results showed an uptick in blood flow and oxygen levels in certain regions after the hyperbaric oxygen therapy.Here’s how the researchers say it works. By dramatically raising blood-oxygen levels in aging patients, Efrati harnessed oxidative stress to prompt some brain cells to go into survivalist mode. Oxygen atoms are free radicals—at concentrated amounts, they scour the body, damaging DNA, cells, and proteins in a phenomenon called oxidative stress.
Efrati thinks that stress caused by fluctuating oxygen levels in the blood might stimulate stem cell growth. But this chain of events hasn’t been scientifically proven yet, says Uri Ashery, a professor of neuroscience at the Sagol School of Neuroscience in Israel. “The mechanisms behind hyperbaric oxygen therapy are unknown,” he notes. When asked if increased blood flow means more brain activity, as indicated in the study, Ashery also hesitated. “Not necessarily,” he says.
Aviv Clinics is already starting to grow, says CEO Dave Globig. Despite the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, adults 55 years of age and older have been scrambling to get appointments since the treatment was first rolled out in mid-June. While most clients come from the Villages, a sprawling retirement community that hems the clinic, Globig anticipates taking on patients coming from all over the world.
