The decline of Menin in the hypothalamus may contribute to physiological aging, affecting cognition, bone mass, skin thickness, and lifespan. A recent study using mice suggests that a simple dietary supplement of an amino acid may help mitigate some of these age-related changes.
Loss of Menin helps drive the aging process, and dietary supplement can reverse it in mice.
Cognition, bone mass, skin thickness, and lifespan are all affected by Menin’s decline.
According to a new scientific study, the decline in the hypothalamic Menin may play a key role in aging. The findings reveal a previously unknown driver of physiological aging and suggest that supplementation with a simple amino acid may mitigate some age-related changes. The research, by Lige Leng of Xiamen University, Xiamen, China, and colleagues, was published on March 16th in the open access journal PLOS Biology.
