Fw: Free Drosophilia Tests
|
| |
Dear Ladislav; I saw your note on Deja.com, regarding testing compounds on Drosophilia for anti-aging effects. Our chemist has developed several new ways of protecting Glutathione and Carnosine (the body's two most powerful antioxidants), in such a way that it is not destroyed by the stomach acids or the enzymes in the bloodstream. Our in-vitro tests indicate that it will slow telomeric erosion through antioxidant mechanisms and likely preserving telomerase degradation by superoxide radical thereby regrowing and making up for some fo the base pair shortening that occurs during each cell division. We see cell population doublings beyond the normal Hayflick limit.... more »
