Fullerene C60

1. Fullerene C60 extends lifespan in mice.

   “Treatment of mice with C60 fullerenes resulted in an increased lifespan of males and females compared with the olive oil-treated animals.”

2. Fullerene C60 extends lifespan in rats (almost doubles).

   “oral administration of C(60) dissolved in olive oil (0.8 mg/ml) at reiterated doses (1.7 mg/kg of body weight) to rats not only does not entail chronic toxicity but it almost doubles their lifespan”

1. Fullerene C60 decreases oxidative stress and ROS signaling in rats.

   “effects of C(60)-olive oil solutions in an experimental model of CCl(4) intoxication in rat strongly suggest that the effect on lifespan is mainly due to the attenuation of age-associated increases in oxidative stress”
