A team of scientists in China said they have discovered how a type of bile known as lithocholic acid (LCA) can slow down ageing in a way similar to how calorie restriction or fasting work.
The researchers also observed that LCA introduction increased the mean lifespan of nematodes from 22 to 27 days and of flies by four to five days. The administration of “upregulated metabolite LCA ...
Some drugs can activate AMPK, most prominently metformin, which is approved for diabetes and being trialed in dementia. Less well-known is aldometanib, developed by Lin’s team, which blocks aldolase, ...
Our demonstration of a potent anti-tumor effect of lithocholic acid in cultured human cancer cells and our identification of the mechanisms underlying such effect of lithocholic acid has been ...
For this new study, the team focused their efforts on lithocholic acid (LCA), a bile acid created by bacteria in the gut. Prior research had suggested that LCA was a toxin, but more recently ...
