Title: Effect of lta isolated from bifidobacteria on d-galactose-induced aging. Experimental gerontology.
Summary: A new study shows that a component of the cell wall of bacteria (LTA) can reduce some signs associated with the aging process. Yi et al demonstrated that the use of probiotics in mice improved general appearance, raised antioxidant levels in the brain, increased Il-2 and decreased Tnf-a. In addition, it inhibited DNA damage in lymphocytes. This study showed that LTA can suppress the aging process through a variety of mechanisms and including improving antioxidant levels and improving immune and alteration of gene expression.
