Cold triggers significant production of BH2 in muscle tissue
A new Nature study found that mild cold temperatures increase dihydrobiopterin (BH2) production in muscle tissue, which helps maintain protein homeostasis and tissue health during aging.
- Field
- ageing and longevity
- What they did
- Researchers discovered that mild cold temperatures trigger the production of a substance called dihydrobiopterin (BH2) in muscles.
- Why it matters
- This substance travels to other parts of the body to maintain protein balance and support tissue health during aging.
