Model: 6- to 8-week-old male C57BL/6J mice
Dosage: 0.5 mg/kg of isolated mitochondria injected every two days for six injections in the tail vein

Mitochondrial Transplantation Rejuvenates Aging Hearts, Study Finds

Transplantation of the cell’s powerhouses (mitochondria) improves heart function by restoring mitophagy (the cellular process that clears damaged mitochondria) in a mouse model of cardiac aging.

Model: Chronically stressed mice 
Dosage: 9 mg/kg/day of L-serine, or 5 mg/kg/day of dasatinib combined with 50 mg/kg/day of quercetin

Supplementing chronically stressed mice with L-serine, an amino acid, counters signs of anxiety and diabetes while diverting age-promoting senescent cells within the brain’s fear center.
