SGLTi as a Geroprotective Agent: Comprehensive Review of Clinical Benefits and Mechanisms

TL;DR: SGLTi, originally developed for type 2 diabetes, shows promise as a geroprotective agent that may slow aging, prevent age-related diseases, and improve life expectancy. Its mechanisms of action include promoting autophagy, restoring mitochondrial health, reducing oxidative stress, and decreasing inflammation. Large clinical studies demonstrate reduced risks for many common age-related conditions and improved overall […]

IL-11 Inhibition Extends Mouse Lifespan by 29%: A Breakthrough Rivaling Rapamycin’s Effects

TL;DR: A 2024 Nature study shows that inhibiting interleukin-11 (IL-11) extends median mouse lifespan by 28.7% when administered at an age equivalent to human late-50s, with improved health markers and reduced tumor incidence. This extension rivals that seen with rapamycin, raising questions about whether IL-11 inhibition works through similar or complementary mechanisms. Key Findings Lifespan

Fasting and Calorie Restriction Effects on Lifespan: Insights from a 960-Mouse Study with Human Biomarker Validation

TL;DR: A large-scale mouse study (n=960) found that both fasting and calorie restriction (CR) extended lifespan, with 40% CR showing the most dramatic results (36% increase in median lifespan). The 40% CR group also maintained youthful physical activity levels throughout life. Key biomarkers like lymphocyte count and red blood cell distribution width (RDW) strongly predicted
