  1. Lifespan is associated with metallothioneins in mice.

    “Cytochrome P-450s, flavin monooxygenases, hydroxyacid oxidase, and metallothioneins were found to be significantly elevated in similar proportions in each of the models of delayed aging tested”

Low-dose zinc improves health and stress defence in worms

In aged roundworms, a low dose of zinc restored organismal zinc after an approximately 90% drop in zinc-to-sulfur ratio, improving healthspan and stress resistance.In aged roundworms, a low dose of zinc restored organismal zinc after an approximately 90% drop in zinc-to-sulfur ratio, improving healthspan and stress resistance.
