Hi,
I dont know if this study has been posted before. I couldn't find anything through the search function though. Even if it was posted before it is probably worth another read... It is revolutionary in some ways,although it actually just proves RP right in many ways.
So they injected the enzyme Pepck-cmus into mice, which makes them hypermetabolic.
The mice were 7-10 times more active !! Beeing able to run 5km at once (a mouse!) They were consuming more food while having less body fat ,which indicates a high metabolism. And they lived almost 2 years longer than normal mice ( normal mice live 2-3 years at max) so they DOUBLED their LIFESPAN !
Only downside is that the scientists said they became very aggressive.
