Anti-aging drug as good for cell health as dieting or fasting | Rapamycin is just as effective in protecting cells and cognitive function as cutting calories or intermittent fasting (IF).
A large meta-analysis has found that the drug leading the charge in anti-aging science is just as effective in protecting cells and cognitive function as cutting calories or intermittent fasting (IF). It's the most comprehensive study of rapamycin yet.
A large meta-analysis has found that the drug leading the charge in anti-aging science is just as effective in protecting cells and cognitive function as cutting calories or intermittent fasting (IF). "Dietary restriction – for example through intermittent fasting or reduced calorie intake – has been the gold standard for living longer," said co-lead researcher Dr Zahida Sultanova, from UEA’s School of Biological Sciences. While the researchers' findings are based on studies on non-human vertebrates, rapamycin is currently under investigation in human trials, which will assess the drug for safety as well as efficacy.
