aubrey degray on CBS news - IGF-1 levels

[Guest guest]

Probably a rerun, but I noted the mice studies of Dr Sell, who altered the IGF-1 gene to make mice smaller. Therefore they live longer.

It seems for me that idea of lowering IGF-1 in my system does not compare with that. I'm mature and aging and IGF-1 levels are expected to fall with age. It seems to me I want to keep those levels up to that of a younger man to slow aging, but it's probably the other way around - aging causes the level to fall. and perhaps keeping the level high with a supplement makes the adipose grow.

Just my take.

Another thing I had not considered is DeGray's idea of "junk" buildup as causing aging. There is a distinct possibility that slowing athero, eg, leads to a longer life - maybe not longer lifespan.

Regards.
