Model: 20-month-old female C57BL/J mice 
Dosage: 10 nmol/kg/day of semaglutide

Semaglutide extends mouse lifespan and targets signs of aging, such as diminished NAD+, while mimicking the anti-aging effects of caloric restriction (consuming fewer calories). 


The study was led by Dr. Danica Chen (image: berkeley.edu). 

Aging &amp; Longevity

Model: SAMP8 mice (5 months old) and C57BL/6 mice (16 months old)
Dosage: 1.5 mg/kg of urolithin A was administered by intraperitoneal injection three times per week (Monday, Wednesday, and Friday) for 8 weeks.

Study shows that urolithin A preserves memory and cognitive function during aging when treatment begins before age-related decline, but does not reverse cognitive impairment once it is established.

Repurposing Erectile Dysfunction Pills for Longevity

Some people are taking erectile dysfunction medications like Cialis and Viagra for more than sex—rather, to help them live longer.

(Tablets of the erectile dysfunction drugs Cialis and Viagra | Prostate Prognosis)

People have started repurposing erectile dysfunction medications, such as Cialis and Viagra, to help them live longer.

Model: Female Balb/c mice exposed to ultraviolet radiation 
Dosage: 2%, 5%, 7.5%, or 12.5% of nicotinamide (weight/volume) applied topically, once daily, five times per week

The NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) precursor nicotinamide prevents skin aging, in part by targeting age-promoting senescent cells in mice. 


Model: SAMP8 mice 
Dosage: ~25 mg/kg/day of PQQ or PQI administered in food

Supplementing with the antioxidant pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ) modestly extends the lifespan of age-accelerated mice while improving their strength.
