What did studies of geroprotective interventions find?

Studies of geroprotective interventions measured 2 outcomes: fatty acid metabolism and inflammation.

Geroprotective interventions increase fatty acid metabolism in mice.
“We find a gene expression program common to all four interventions, in which inflammation is reduced and several metabolic processes, especially fatty acid metabolism, are increased.”

Heavier male mice had larger lifespan gains from interventions

For weight-lowering interventions, median lifespan gains over controls rose from 6.2% in the lightest quarter of males to 20.2% in the heaviest.For weight-lowering interventions, median lifespan gains over controls rose from 6.2% in the lightest quarter of males to 20.2% in the heaviest.
