Миланские ученые нашли путь к долголетию с помощью обычных аминокислот

Ученые  Миланского университета  сделали   очень уникальное и  важное открытие. Они  фактически открыли   «коктейль долголетия», который позволяет  продлить  человеческую жизнь на 12%, а это при нынешней экологии совсем немало. Этот особый коктейль состоит из  аминокислот - валина, аминоизокапроновой кислотой и изолейцина.

Возможность  увеличивать срок жизни с  помощью этого коктейля аминокислот  доказано в лабораторных условиях на  здоровых мышах среднего возраста мужского пола. Две группы  мышей были разбиты по принципу употребления и  неупотребления этого коктейля. Результаты  были поразительными. Мыши, которые ежедневно принимали  вышеуказанные  аминокислоты,  жили в среднем 869 дней,  а группа  мышей, не употреблявших аминокислоты,  в среднем прожили лишь 774 дня. 

Кроме  увеличения продолжительности жизни в организме мышей значительно возросла энергетическая подпитка клеток,  снизились негативные процессы окисления, приводящие к старению и  склонности к онкозаболеваниям,  улучшилась  мышечная.

Protein cocktail is 'elixir of life

A cocktail of amino acids - the building blocks of proteins - is the latest contender in the age-old search for the elixir of life.

Scientists gave mice drinking water laced with three amino acids. They said the rodents lived significantly longer than other mice fed a normal diet.

The research, reported in a scientific journal, has yet to be tried in people.

The study leader said a large patient trial was needed to provide evidence to convince doctors.

In experiments, middle-aged healthy male mice were given drinking water containing the amino acids leucine, isoleucine and valine.

Dr Enzo Nisoli, of the University of Milan, and colleagues, said it increased the average lifespan of the mice by 12% and boosted their fitness and co-ordination.

They wrote in their paper, published in Cell Metabolism: "Our study offers a rationale for deeply exploring the role of amino acids in prevention and control of age-related disorders in humans."

The amino acids - three of the 20 that make up proteins - have been shown to extend life span in yeast. However, the precise role of these amino acids in humans is unknown.

They are used by bodybuilders to maintain muscle tissue and can be bought in health food stores and online.

Summary

Recent evidence points to a strong relationship between increased mitochondrial biogenesis and increased survival in eukaryotes. Branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) have been shown to extend chronological life span in yeast. However, the role of these amino acids in mitochondrial biogenesis and longevity in mammals is unknown. Here, we show that a BCAA-enriched mixture (BCAAem) increased the average life span of mice. BCAAem supplementation increased mitochondrial biogenesis and sirtuin 1 expression in primary cardiac and skeletal myocytes and in cardiac and skeletal muscle, but not in adipose tissue and liver of middle-aged mice, and this was accompanied by enhanced physical endurance. Moreover, the reactive oxygen species (ROS) defense system genes were upregulated, and ROS production was reduced by BCAAem supplementation. All of the BCAAem-mediated effects were strongly attenuated in endothelial nitric oxide synthase null mutant mice. These data reveal an important antiaging role of BCAAs mediated by mitochondrial biogenesis in mammals.
