Aging anti seizures can delay drugs

epliepsy drug alziemerResearchers have found that drugs used to treat human seizures can delay aging in worms by as much as 50 percent.

The roundworms used for the study are similar to how people in their molecular makeup, increase the possibility that the drugs could extend the life of the people.?

The discovery may little understandable information about the aging process. Because the drugs to be neuromuscular systems both people and worms, interpret the results on a connection between neuronal activity and aging.

?The discovery came from the thesis work of Kimberley Evason at Washington University School of medicine in St. Louis, Missouri. The results were detailed in the journal Science.

??Evason began exposing groups of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans to commercially available drug to see if the drugs would delay aging or promotion of longevity. In contrast to vertebrates, the worms are ideal subjects for the study of aging due to their short lifespan that take only a few weeks in a laboratory. It is known in genetics and the worm genome was sequenced has.

Over eight months the scientists tested 20 drugs, all with negative results, until you tested the anticonvulsant drug Ethosuzimide.The researchers found that the drug extends the service life of roundworms 16.7 days to 19.6 days, an increase of 17 percent.It was found that two related anticonvulsant drugs extended life of worms - in the case of a drug by almost 50 percent. in addition to delay degenerative changes in age-related increases drugs also neuromuscular activity suggests a link between the neuromuscular system and the aging process.The results suggest that

Neuronal activity has n important rule in regulating the whole body, including skin, muscles and Fortpflanzungsorgane.Die aging scientists concluded that somehow the nervous system although the phases koordiniert.Wie done isn't obvious progress all these tissues, yet known, and requires further investigation to determ.ine how

Important implications for the human aging, aging and longevity have the discovery could extend the lifetime of roundworms drugs currently on drugs and the aging process little known ist.Was is known that an insulin like regulates signaling system, therefore general agreement that a good diet may delay ageing, and a person is to extend the service life.
