Foreign media said that if there is a chance to choose, most people are willing to make their youth permanent, immortal A protein previously suspected of prolonging life has recently been shown to do so The picture above shows the structure of SIRT1, the so-called "longevity" protein, according to the website of Scientific American on September 6 Developmental biologist Ichiro Konai of the University of Washington, St Louis, has found that the protein working in the brain does not delay the aging process, but rather delays the start of aging, thus prolonging youth and injecting extra vitality into the individual's life cycle The researchers developed a mouse that was able to release SIRT1, a higher than normal level, in the brain, and found that the lifespan of the creature was significantly prolonged In particular, the team found that SIRT1 plays a key role in protecting the body from age-related skeletal muscle aging, behavioral decline, hypothermia, decreased oxygen consumption and decreased sleep quality The findings could help researchers better understand how to extend the lives of other mammals, including humans, the report said Detailed results were published in the September 3 issue of cell metabolism (refer to the message network)
