    Early menarche and childbirth accelerate aging-related outcomes and age-related diseases: Evidence for antagonistic pleiotropy in humans

    Yifan Xiang, Vineeta Tanwar ... Pankaj Kapahi
    Mendelian randomization offers novel insights into the genetic factors that influence the aging process through early-life reproductive events, providing robust evidence for the antagonistic pleiotropy theory in humans.

    Acute aerobic exercise intensity does not modulate pain potentially due to differences in fitness levels and sex effects: results from a pharmacological fMRI study

    Janne Ina Nold, Tahmine Fadai, Christian Büchel
    Exercise intensity alone does not differentially reduce pain, but individual factors like fitness level and sex, along with opioid mechanisms, may influence exercise-induced pain relief.
