A study by American scientists from the University of Georgia showed that during fasting, or limiting caloric intake are formed by special molecules. These molecules can contribute to the rejuvenation of the body, since they have actually a rejuvenating effect on the tissues of the vessels and arteries, experts found.
As the age of the person it vessels get older – a phenomenon known as arterial stiffness. In the walls of blood vessels and arteries because of the constant mechanical stress with age degenerative changes occur vascular tissue slowly lose their elasticity. Scientists from the University of Georgia found that there is a connection that can slow the aging of blood vessels due to its effects on endothelial cells lining the inner surface of blood vessels.
The substance in question is beta-hydroxybutyrate. The study showed the property of this molecule to slow cell aging: thanks to its activity of cells continued to multiply and divide at that age when they are already considered frail and incapable of division.
The researchers noted that increasing age is the main risk factor for emergence in humans of dangerous diseases – according to the degree of aging increases the tendency to cancer, cardiovascular diseases, Alzheimer’s disease. Delay aging, which can give a compound discovered, that according to scientists “the main way to reduce the incidence and severity of diseases.”
