Scientists have developed a "youth elixir" that really rejuvenates the body

The first step to eternal molodosti



Today we know only two things that can resist aging and even reverse it: eat less high-calorie food and plenty of sports. But in a recent experiment, scientists have tested the new substance in mice, resulting in muscle of mice become biennial as a six-month mice. Incredibly, human trials could begin as early as next year.

The new compound, nicotinamide nucleotide mono (SUI), when tested on mice worked remarkably quickly - just a week biennial mice became indistinguishable from the six-month. They have improved muscle mitochondrial function have recovered and increased insulin resistance and decreased inflammation in the body - the two main causes of aging.

As we age our body decreases the level of the chemical nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD). The researchers were able to restore the level of the mice to the desired. The cells actually transformed SUI in NAD, which restores the function of the neural network and mitochondria. In essence, it simulates the effects of diet and exercise.

In the future, the muscles of 60-year-olds can lead to a state of 20-year-olds. Of course, this comparison is not to be taken literally: the aging and metabolism of people and mice are very different. In addition, the muscle strength of mice did not increase, but scientists hope to fix it. Age is receding only partially - the mice still observed other problems, such as age-related neurodegeneration or decrease the length of telomeres.

However, the opening may be a breakthrough. The researchers hope that it may benefit the young and healthy people. But even if human trials are successful and the side effects will be, the therapy, in all probability, still will not be applied in the next 20 years.
