A new study shows that increased levels in the brain of a molecule called Slc128a, which transports NMN into cells, reduces a type of muscle decline in older adults called sarcopenia. Likewise, they showed that reducing levels of Slc128a in the brain caused the muscles to become fatigued and weakened again. Doubling Slc128a Dramatically Improved […]

When sirtuins are activated, the effect is delayed aging, which has been demonstrated in a wide spectrum of experimental models, including mammals.
