Abstract As the elderly population grows, yoga gets more popular as one of the exercises to improve the quality of life and health of the elderly. Glycoproteins in human plasma are known to be deeply associated with multiple diseases, cell differentiation, aging, and etc. We study the efficacy of yoga by identifying and comparing the glycoproteins in human plasma from both Advanced level group and Beginner level group before and after participation in a fall-prevention yoga program. Glycoproteins are affinity-selected from their plasma using self-packed LEL columns and then trypsin digested. After that, the proteins in both groups are identified with nLC-MS/MS and database searches. The results show that the number of plasma glycoproteins in Advanced level group is less than that in Beginner’s group, demonstrating an inverse correlation between number of plasma glycoproteins and yoga experience.
