Model: Male Sprague-Dawley rats 
Dosage: 400 mg/kg of magnesium L-theanine and 600 mg/kg of nicotinamide riboside administered orally for 40 days

Scientists find that treating rats with magnesium L-theanine and nicotinamide riboside (NR) counteracts stress-induced metabolic, gut, and liver aging.

Participants: Healthy males (age range: 70-76)
Dosage: 1 mg/kg/day of rapamycin for 8 weeks

Supplementing with rapamycin leads to improvements in cardiac and vascular function in older men, suggesting this longevity-associated drug may counteract cardiovascular aging.

Model: Aged mice (18 months old) underwent exploratory laparotomy under isoflurane anesthesia to induce POCD.
Dosage: Berberine was given by oral gavage at 100 mg/kg per day for 14 days after surgery.
