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. We are interested in having these compounds tested for their effect on lifespan. If you can still provide Drosophilia tests, let us know and we'll send you a NDA. Thanks, James Clement Costa Mesa, CA 92626 Tel (949) 274-4982 From longevity.science from gmail.com Sat Mar 24 17:31:32 2007 From: longevity.science from gmail.com (Leonid Gavrilov) Date: Wed Mar 28 08:20:43 2007 Subject: [Ageing] "The Evolution of Aging" Message-ID: <1174775492.791998.77760@e65g2000hsc.googlegroups.com> Greetings, Just finished reading this new book "The Evolution of Aging: How New Theories Will Change the Future of Medicine": http://longevity-science.blogspot.com/2007/03/evolution-of-aging.html This book looks like a popular book (with 29 references only) promoting a controversial idea that aging is genetically programmed. Still this is an interesting and thought-provoking book stimulating creative thinking. This book may deserve some discussion here or at the weblink listed above. Key words: ageing, aging, books, evolution, evolution of aging, longevity, new books, Theodore C.
