Model: Young C57BL/6J mice fed a high protein (56% of daily calories) diet for 20 weeks 
Dosage: Injection with either 400 mg/kg of NMN or 20 mg/kg of 78c for 4 weeks

High protein intake improves the body composition of aged mice, but it lowers NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) levels and promotes metabolic aging. 

Metabolism

Model: Male COX7RP transgenic mice with systemic overexpression of COX7RP, aged under standard laboratory conditions and compared with age-matched wild-type controls.
Dosage: Not applicable. COX7RP activity was increased via genetic overexpression rather than drug administration.

Boosting mitochondrial efficiency by increasing COX7RP activity extended lifespan in mice while improving energy production and reducing inflammation.

How to Boost Mitochondrial Density and Quality for Longevity

Lifestyle hacks contrived to promote the tissue density and quality of mitochondria (the cell’s powerhouses) can aid in the efficient generation of cellular energy and reduce inflammation, thereby promoting longevity.

Exercise, nutritional support, and lifestyle hacks like cold exposure can all help mitigate mitochondrial dysfunction, a key hallmark of aging.

Model: 20-month-old male C57BL/6 mice 
Dosage: 3,000 to 4,000 µg of ouabain dissolved in 27,000 to 36,000 µL of PBS injected twice per week every third week over a period of three months

AI Analyzes Millions of Molecular Profiles to Uncover Overlooked Aging Interventions

Harvard and MIT scientists analyze decades of publicly available molecular studies with a new AI platform to uncover hundreds of previously hidden anti-aging strategies, like the drug ouabain.

A new AI platform has uncovered hundreds of pro-longevity agents based on the reanalysis of millions of mouse and human gene expression samples.

How to Support Muscle Function with Age: Top Evidence-Based Supplements

Data suggest certain supplements, such as L-carnitine, vitamin D, and essential minerals, support muscle function and physical performance in adults of advanced age.

Researchers from University College London review data supporting that supplements, like vitamin D, L-carnitine, and essential minerals, support muscle function during aging.
