Can Intermittent Fasting Slow Down Gut Aging? New Research Suggests So

A new study provides data suggesting compromised intestinal function with age and that fasting for short periods promotes intestinal regeneration and function in aged mice.

Alternate-day fasting, a form of intermittent fasting, reverses age-related intestinal barrier leakage in old mice.

Aging &amp; Longevity

Model: Male Wistar rats (4-month-old young rats and 24-month-old old rats)
Dosage: Oral administration of the trypsin inhibitor tranexamic acid in drinking water for 14 days at a minimum dose of 0.39 g/kg/day after consuming about 40 mL/day of water

Newly Proposed Aging Mechanism: Digestive Enzymes May Be Eating Us from Within

University of California, San Diego researchers show digestive enzyme leakage from the intestines contributes to organ damage in old rats, offering what may be a new way to explain aging.

Bacteria from a Young Gut Reverse Age-Related Inflammation

Fecal matter transplants from young mice could positively affect inflammation in the eyes, brains, and intestines of aged mice by affecting gut microbiota composition.

Gut bacteria from young mice has been shown to reverse age-related inflammation in mice.
