    Increasing serotonin (5-HT) breakdown delays/prevents aging

    The naked mole rat (NMR) is one of the most fascinating species. Despite being a humble rodent, much smaller than a regular house/city rat, the NMR has an exceptionally long life-span of 35+ years (compared to 2-3 years for the common rat) and on top of that is remarkably resistant to the...

    Major depression likely driven by mitochondrial deterioration/dysfunction

    This the latest study demonstrating that not only are various chronic diseases and aging essentially the same process, but that this process is fundamentally bioenergetic in nature. Namely, dysfunctional mitochondria, leading to low OXPHOS, is the direct cause of many physiological and "mental"...

    Fasting causes aging by energy depletion, vitamin B2 can stop it

    Well, if this title does not rile up the fasting crowd, I don't know what will:-) Aside from that controversy, it is actually a great study that not only suggests a dirt cheap and widely available option for retarding aging, but once again demonstrates that stress (e.g. fasting) directly causes...

    DHT can stop aging of the pancreatic beta-cells (insulin-producing)

    Another great study, which demonstrates that far from being a "villain" (in both males and females) DHT is in fact a crucial and positive factor in health. In this specific study below, it was demonstrated that DHT dose-dependently inhibited the aging/dysfunction of the pancreatic beta-cells...

    High dose anti-oxidants can cause premature cellular senescence

    https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34769282/ "In our previous study, we found that high doses of several substances with antioxidant capacities (Tempol, resveratrol, diphenyleneiodonium) can cause genotoxic stress and induce premature senescence in the human mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). Here...

    Striking Accumulation Of PUFA In Aged Cells

    Peat has written many times about the changes that occur in "aged" cells. Those changes are virtually indistinguishable from the ones that occur in "sick" cells and are characterized by reduced mitochondrial number/size and a shift in lipid composition away from saturated and towards unsaturated...
