Model: Ten-month-old male EFAD mice 
Dosage: 14.4 ppm of alfatradiol in diet for five months

USC Study: Longevity-Promoting Drug Counteracts a Genetic Predisposition to Alzheimer's

The drug alfatradiol, also known as 17ɑ-estradiol, reduces cognitive errors on a test of memory and lowers neuronal plaques in mice genetically predisposed to Alzheimer’s disease.

(The University of Southern California | College Matchpoint)

Researchers unveil data suggesting the drug alfatradiol improves signs of frailty, reduces cognitive errors, and reduces neuronal plaques in mice with a genetic predisposition to Alzheimer’s disease.

Human studies show that a higher intake of the naturally occurring molecule spermidine may prevent cognitive impairments and dementia while improving longevity. 


Model: UM-HET3 mice and 5XFAD mice 
Dosage: UM=HET3 mice received 180 mg/kg canagliflozin in chow starting at seven months of age, and FXFAD mice received 180 mg/kg canagliflozin in chow beginning at three months of age

New Study: Diabetes Medication Improves Cognition and Alleviates Alzheimer’s Progression

The diabetes drug canagliflozin improves learning and memory in middle-aged male mice and reduces brain plaques in Alzheimer’s model mice.

The FDA-approved diabetes medication canagliflozin improves cognition in a mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease in males only.

Model: 27-month-old male C57BL/6N mice 
Dosage: 50 mg/kg/day of fisetin for 1 week, followed by no treatment for 2 weeks, followed by another week of treatment

Plant-based molecule fisetin preserves muscle mass and strength in older mice via senolytic action — removal of senescent (dysfunctional) cells.

Latest Human Trial from the Buck Institute Shows Plasma Exchange Lowers Biological Age

A new human study shows that a procedure involving the replacement of blood plasma with a fresh solution (therapeutic plasma exchange) lowers a measure of how quickly the body is aging (biological age).

(The Buck Institute for Research on Aging | Facebook)

In a first-of-its-kind human trial, participants who underwent therapeutic plasma exchange exhibited significantly lowered biological age.
