US Army longevity research
26. April 2009 by admin.
Longevity research keeps showing up in unexpected places. The US Army is pursuing research related to the third theory of aging in my Anti-Aging firewalls treatise, Mitochondrial Damage. They have an anti-aging research program called “Optimized Human Performance: Mitochondrial Energetics” The stated objective of the program is “Develop metabolic supplements to optimize adenosine triphosphate production in eukaryotes.” Of course, optimizing adenosine triphosphate production in humans is one of the prime objectives of the supplements in the firewall for this theory of aging. But the Army is out to see how the job can best be done. The project involves screening libraries of compounds for their effects “that increase mitochondrial copy number and/or the efficiency of mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation.” One intended outcome of the project is to identify supplements which would allow older experienced soldiers to have the same physical and mental performance capabilities as a 20 year-old. This could allow for later retirement of experienced soldiers and significantly increase the human resource capability of the army.
