Young ovaries rejuvenate body

摘要

Could this be the next extreme anti-ageing fad? Swapping an older mouse's ovaries for young ones seems to reverse the effects of ageing on the immune system and metabolism of female mice, making them live longer. As we age, our metabolism slows and our immune system runs out of steam. Older people are more likely than the young to have severe cold and flu symptoms, probably because they have fewer fresh immune cells left. And a slower metabolism means that glucose stays in the bloodstream for longer after you eat. Over time, high blood sugar levels can damage organs.
