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.
