Science Daily takes an in-depth look at the possibility of slowing down aging. Researchers have found a new substance that has been linked to slowing down the aging process when tested on mice. The substance used involves the use of the coenzyme NAD+ and would have the potential to help patients suffering from neurological diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.
Key Takeaways:
- As we live longer and longer, a lot of people are occupied with their state of health and, not least, quality of life in old age
- The coenzyme NAD+ plays a main role in aging processes
- Previous research has shown that a main process in aging is the capacity of the cells to keep our genes, our DNA, more or less intact
