New Study Shows Cranberry Extract Equivalent to Metformin in Fighting Aging

Fayoum University researchers found that cranberry polyphenols improve metabolic markers, cognition, and oxidative stress to the same degree as the drug metformin.

A new study suggests cranberry extract has effects against aging that rival metformin.

Aging &amp; Longevity

Model: 24-month-old male C57BL/6J mice 
Dosage: 1% w/v of betaine for three weeks

The naturally occurring compound betaine is elevated in healthy adults after long-term exercise and mitigates signs of aging in mice. 

Immunity

NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) may contribute to healthy cellular aging by enhancing biological energy flow, according to the newly formulated energy resistance principle.


Model: Male C57BL/6 mice 
Dosage: 10 mg/kg of glyburide via intragastric injections or 500 mg/kg of NMN by oral water supply daily starting at 12 months of age until death

Common Diabetes Medication Might Extend Life, Suggests New Study

Researchers show that glyburide, an anti-diabetes drug, extends lifespan and reduces frailty in naturally aged mice.

Model: C57BL/6N mice 
Dosage: 1 g/kg carvedilol in food for one week followed by four weeks of PAGln treatment, consisting of 50 mg/kg per day by injection, and the same PAGln treatment for four weeks followed by 50 mg/kg per day of ABT263 via oral gavage for five days

New Study Suggests Combining Senolytics with Blood Pressure Medication Counteracts an Aging Gut

Carvedilol, a blood pressure medication, and the senolytic agent ABT-263 both attenuate cellular senescence—an age-related, dysfunctional cellular state—driven by a gut bacterial metabolite in mice.
