Love Hormone Begets Bliss Molecule
As is true with seemingly everything else involving our well-being, there is a connection between these feelings, brought on by , and our endocannabinoid system ( ), driver of that Goldilocks 'just right' state of being called .
As endearing as oxytocin is, so to is (ananda, Sanskrit for 'bliss'), a cannabinoid (vital component of our ECS) that we produce naturally. There is an intimate interplay between the release of oxytocin and the production of this blissful molecule which impacts, among other things, mood and socialability.
Lost That Loving Feeling?
Oxytocin availability can be negatively impacted by chronically high cortisol--think stress and poor lifestyle habits--as well as the waning of s*x hormones as we age. Getting a handle on these issues by managing stress, eating an anti-inflammatory diet, moving more, and practicing good sleep hygiene is conducive of a healthier oxytocin response as well as ECS tone.

A New Play for the 'Aging Well' Playbook | optimization may take the game to a whole new level! A critical part of nerve cells and the brain, plasmalogens are specialized lipid molecules with unique membrane modulation, , and properties. Levels increase until around age 40 and then decrease with age. Low levels of plasmalogens contribute to neurodegenerative diseases including disease, disease, and . There are 2 main actions of plasmalogens; membrane modulation and antioxidation. Examples of how plasmalogen membrane modulation improves function are enhanced cholesterol transport, as well as removal, and improved amyloid precursor protein metabolism resulting in the reduction of beta-amyloid (the protein that causes Alzheimer’s plaques).

Boosting Brain Health via Better Bioavailability - A Comprehensive Review
"Most importantly, only n‐3 LCPUFAs in the PL form can cross the blood–brain barrier, and hence that is why enrichment of brain is only possible using supplements with DHA in the PL form [...] Several studies involving clinical trials have already demonstrated higher bioavailability and beneficial effect of roe PL on brain health [...] Another study of n‐3 PUFA bioavailability found that there was a significantly higher bioavailability of EPA and DHA content associated with PL rich herring oil compared to TAG based supplementation [...] Reduction of plasmalogen increases microglia activation and leads to AD, while oral ingestion of plasmalogen helps to improve cognition by decreasing microglia activation and Aβ accumulation [...] It is well established that PL n‐3 can cross the BBB and can be converted into various bioactive lipids, which can significantly inhibit Aβ production and microglial activation. PL n‐3 can also reduce oxidative stress, improve learning ability and memory deficit, and several studies have reported significant improvement in cognition as a result of n‐3 PL supplementation."

Cannabinoids on the Defense as Players in
"Cannabinoids as regulators of mitochondrial activity, as anti-oxidants and as modulators of clearance processes protect neurons on the molecular level. On the cellular level, the cannabinoid system regulates the expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor and neurogenesis. Neuroinflammatory processes contributing to the progression of normal brain ageing and to the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases are suppressed by cannabinoids, suggesting that they may also influence the ageing process on the system level."

Activating Your with Beta-Caryophyllene | Specific to the elephant in the room... "We hypothesize that the selective stimulation of CB2 could reduce the inflammatory response in SAXS # # #2 patients and could improve the outcome. The stimulation of CB2 could control the inflammatory cascade in several checkpoints, considering its capability to reduce the production of a large number of cytokines, contrarily to the extremely selective action of monoclonal antibodies directed against a specific interleukin. On the other hand, CB2 receptor stimulation has a well-documented immunosuppressive effect by reducing immune cells proliferation [124] and production of antibodies [125]; thus, it could be greatly beneficial in containing the exacerbated inflammatory response in XOXID1X patients."

Peroxisomes as Viral Targets
"... peroxisomes, organelles found in all cells that help regulate the immune system, lipid metabolism and cardiovascular health, brain development and nerve function."
Their importance becomes all the more evident when looking at Zellweger Syndrome and certain debilitating, and often deadly, viruses that target these life-sustaining organelles. Children born with ZS (genetic disorder impacting peroxisomes) usually don't survive beyond 2 years and viral assault on peroxisomes results in an inhibition of which would otherwise 'interfere' with viral replication.
"All viruses have ways to block this interferon response, which fits with the idea that are an important target in terms of virus infections."
To me this also begs the question of whether diminished persoxisomal function might also be a factor in 'long' post viral infection sequelae and if peroxisomal functional testing (i.e. https://www.drgoodenowe.com/blood-testing) and support (https://www.drgoodenowe.com/plasmalogens) would be a worthy pursuit?
