Leonhardt Ventures and Lionheart Health Announce Patent Application Filing for Bioelectric Control of SESTRINs Anti-Aging Protein Expressions

Leonhardt Ventures LLC, and its commercial distribution arm Lionheart Health, Inc., has filed a series of patent claims for bioelectric controlled expression of the SESTRINs family of anti-aging proteins based on data from its affiliated R&D lab in Irvine, California

Sestrins (Sesns) are a family of highly conserved stress-responsive proteins.  Sestrins have been identified in numerous studies to have powerful anti-aging properties. Studies have demonstrated that increased circulating sestrins can help increase the benefits of exercise in less exercise time.  Sestrins may prevent atrophy of muscles from disuse or aging.  They exhibit cardioprotective actions to help prevent hearts from damage.  Sestrins seem to have a strong role in preventing or reversing aging related skin wrinkles.  They could have a role in preventing hair loss.  Via counter acting oxidative stress they may have a significant role in staving off neurodegenerative disorders such as memory-loss, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease.  Sestrins possibly could have an important role in preventing cancer tumor growth progression.

Sestrins may have a role in protecting lung damage in COVID-19 patients. Leonhardt Ventures LLC is leading careful research to explore many of these potential useful applications of this breakthrough patent pending technology.

“In our R&D lab studies that fed the data to support this pioneering patent application we have demonstrated repeated reliability of increasing selected SESTRIN protein family expressions by up to 190% with only 30 minutes of stimulation time across a variety of tissue and cell types including muscle derived myoblasts. These studies included precise controlled frequency, current intensity, pulse duration, pulse width and shape to get these optimal expression results.  We look forward to now to the hard work to translate these exciting lab results into helping people fight back many of devastating effects of aging and disease.”  Stated Dr. Jorge Genovese VP of Bioelectric Regeneration Research at Leonhardt Ventures, Leonhardt’s Launchpads and Lionheart Health, Inc.

Sestrins, highly conserved stress-inducible metabolic proteins, are known to protect organisms against various noxious stimuli including DNA damage, oxidative stress, starvation, endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, and hypoxia. Sestrins regulate metabolism mainly through activation of the key energy sensor AMP-dependent protein kinase (AMPK) and inhibition of mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1). Sestrins also play pivotal roles in autophagy activation and apoptosis inhibition in normal cells, while conversely promoting apoptosis in cancer cells. The functions of Sestrins in diseases such as metabolic disorders, neurodegenerative diseases, cardiovascular diseases, and cancer have been broadly investigated in the past decades.  The Leonhardt Ventures team is committed to now translate some of these well investigated applications into clinical use and helping patients have better outcomes.
