Aging &amp; Longevity

Model: Male C57BL/6 mice 
Dosage: 10 mg/kg of glyburide via intragastric injections or 500 mg/kg of NMN by oral water supply daily starting at 12 months of age until death

Common Diabetes Medication Extends Life, Suggests New Study

Researchers show that glyburide, an anti-diabetes drug, extends lifespan and reduces frailty in naturally aged mice.

Model: 10-month-old and 22-month-old naturally aged mice / Rats with Partial Discectomy (PDE)-induced Temporomandibular Joint Osteoarthritis (TMJOA).
Dosage: 0.25% αKG and  0.75% αKG

Longevity Compound Thwarts Age-Related Joint Degeneration

Researchers found that alpha-ketoglutarate (αKG) can treat osteoarthritis by preserving cartilage and reducing joint inflammation. 

Skin &amp; Muscle

Participants: Healthy older adults 
Dosage: 4 × 5 g/day of creatine monohydrate for 5 days, followed by 1 × 5 g/day for 23 days

Creatine improves vascular health while lowering blood glucose and triglyceride levels in older adults.

Cardiovascular

Model: Male Sprague Dawley rats
Dosage: 1.5 mg/kg body or rapamycin injected 3 times a week for 4 weeks

The longevity-associated drug rapamycin diminishes muscle size and strength in young rats when compared to untreated but calorically restricted young rats.
