Model: C57BL/6J mice, J20 mice, and 3xTg mice 
Dosage: 4.3 μEq l−1 of lithium in drinking water starting at 10 to 12 months of age and continued for 10 to 14 months during aging

Harvard Study: A Low Dose of Lithium May Preserve Cognitive Resilience with Age

Researchers uncover significantly lower brain lithium levels in Alzheimer’s disease patients, and supplementing with a low-dose lithium salt restores memory in an Alzheimer’s disease mouse model.

Harvard-trained aging expert Dr. Josh Helman unveils his top five supplements to fight against aging.

Aging &amp; Longevity

Model: Cybrids composed of Rho0 cells with human platelet mitochondrial DNA from participants between 7 days old and 99 years old 
Dosage: 5 mM of n-Acetyl-L-Cysteine and 3 mM of nicotinamide riboside, with medium changed every three days until the cell population reached between 1 and 10 million

New Study: Combining NR with NAC May Slow Telomere Shortening

New research suggests that nicotinamide riboside (NR) combined with N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) prevents telomere shortening linked to genetic sequences within the cell’s powerhouse (mitochondria) in human cells.

A new study suggests the NAD+ precursor NR combined with the antioxidant NAC may counteract telomere shortening, a hallmark of aging.

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.
