Study Shows Dietary Supplement Reverses Vascular Aging In Mice

Description

March 23 (UPI) -- A supplement containing an enzyme helped reverse the effects of vascular aging in mice, offering hope for humans, according to new research. Biologists at Penn Medicine, Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts Institute of Technology showed that lowered levels of SIRT1 decrease blood-vessel density and blood flow, and that adding the molecule can reverses the effects of vascular aging. The findings were published Thursday in the journal Cell. "This study tells us that the loss of SIRT1 is a primary reason why our ability to exercise and receive its benefits diminish as we age," Dr. Zoltan Pierre Arany, an associate professor of Cardiovascular Medicine in the Perelman School of Medicine at Penn, said in a press release.
