In aging, tissues generally atrophy, with loss of both substance and activity 1 0 2Estrogen is closely associated with the general loss of fat-free tissue with aging 1 0 2In old age, the metabolic rate is decreased and sleep becomes defective 1 0 2In old age, the catabolic hormones such as cortisol are relatively dominant 1 0 2Melatonin increases the concentration of free fatty acids during the night 1 0 1When animals are made "deficient" in all the exogenous polyunsaturated fatty acids, they become remarkably resistant to all sorts of stress and toxins 1 0 2The saturated fats protect against the body's stored PUFA, and keeping the blood sugar up keeps the stored fats from being mobilized 1 0 1Interactions between estrogen and unsaturated fats contribute to the aging process 1 0 2The body produces a small amount of unsaturated fatty acid (Mead acids) when dietary PUFAs are not available 1 0 2The increased rate of metabolism, decreased free radical production, resistance to stress and poisoning by iron, alcohol, endotoxin, alloxan and streptozotocin, etc., improvement of brain structure and function, decreased susceptibility to blood clots, and lack of obesity and age pigment on a diet using coconut oil rather than unsaturated fats indicates that it is very likely acting by reducing the aging process itself at its physiological core 1 0 2
