Lifespan

upin mice1

1 study
  1. Cystamine dihydrochloride extends lifespan in mice.

    “administration of cystamine in drinking water delayed the age of onset for motor dysfunction and extended lifespan”

    Animalsin R6/2 micein drinking water

    The protective effects of cystamine in the R6/2 Huntington's disease mouse involve mechanisms other than the inhibition of tissue transglutaminase
