Discovery of a new compound that may fight the signs of aging
With age, people show signs of aging, but is it possible to get rid of these signs?
In a first of its kind, researchers in a new study published in the scientific journal (Trends in Molecular Medicine) were able to discover a new compound capable of fighting the signs of aging.
Where the researchers found a compound that has a significant effect and is capable of re-growth of hair, improving kidney function, and providing the body with energy, such as that enjoyed during youth.
This compound works to destroy aging cells that contribute to the appearance of signs of aging while preserving new cells and untouching them.
In the experiment that the researchers carried out on mice, they noticed the significant effect of this compound on mice, and the most important thing the researchers found during the experiment:
- The compound was able to regrow the fur of mice that had lost it as a result of age
- Restore the functioning of the kidneys after they have been damaged with age
- The mice had energy again.
These symptoms began to appear about 10 days after starting treatment with this compound.
The compound called FOXO4 peptide had positive effects in mice and was able to reverse the signs of aging that appeared in mice as a result of age.
However, the researchers emphasized that these experiments were conducted on mice only and that there is a need to confirm them on humans in the future.
This compound is present in the young cells of the body. The accumulation of this compound, it works to prevent the aging and dispersal of cells, thus fighting the signs of aging.
