RealFeedApp Natural substance ergothioneine increases in mouse bodies
Researchers from the University of Michigan found that five known lifespan-extending treatments in mice consistently increase ergothioneine levels. Identifying this shared metabolic mechanism could accelerate the development of new anti-aging therapies.
- Field
- ageing and longevity
- What they did
- Researchers from the University of Michigan examined five methods that extend lifespan in mice and found that all of them share higher levels of the natural substance ergothioneine.
- Why it matters
- Knowing this common factor could help develop anti-aging therapies more quickly, as the metabolic mechanisms behind these interventions remain poorly understood.
