<p>Model: C57BL/6N male mice<br />
Dosage: AIN-93 M diet with 0.025% (15 mg/kg per day) niclosamide for the Old + NL group or 0.050% (30 mg/kg per day) niclosamide for the Old + NH group, starting at 12 months of age to 21 months of age</p>


Drug Approved Against Tapeworms May Counteract Aging, Suggests New Study

New research suggests niclosamide, approved for human use against tapeworms, alleviates frailty and suppresses the protein complex mTOR, which regulates cell growth, in aged mice.
