Treatment with amino acid extends lifespan in animal experiment
Study: Ingestion of taurine delays aging
Treating mice with taurine led to increased lifespans and healthspans, a study in Science shows. Henning Wackerhage, Professor of Excercise Biology provided data on human test subjects hinting at similar mechanisms in humans. Taurine deficiency is one of the driving forces in the aging process of humans and animals. This is one of the results of a study which has now been published in the prestigious journal Science. Treatment with taurine extends the lifespan of mice by 10 percent. Monkeys that receive the treatment remain healthy for longer. It is not known whether these two results apply to humans. However, the study demonstrates a link between some age-related diseases and low taurine levels.
The researchers showed that the taurine concentration in the blood of mice, monkeys and humans decreases in old age. ...
