A recent study conducted by researchers examined the effects of regular transfusions of young rat plasma into old rats, starting in later life. While the study was small, it added valuable insights to existing data on the topic. The results indicated that this transfusion approach had positive effects, with old rats receiving young plasma showing improved lifespan and healthspan compared to control rats. The findings suggested that young blood contains elements that can revitalize function and promote organ integrity in older individuals.
The study involved injecting plasma from young rats into a group of old female rats, while a control group received no treatment. The results showed that the treated rats had a higher survival rate and lower DNA methylation age compared to the control group. Further analysis revealed changes in gene expression related to insulin-like factors and immune functions. These findings support the potential of young plasma therapy as a natural and noninvasive intervention for promoting epigenetic rejuvenation and overall health enhancement.
