Mice Given Younger Ovaries Live Longer
From Times Staff and Wire Reports
Mice implanted with ovaries from much younger mice live to a riper old age, according to UC Davis researchers.
Ovaries from female mice aged 11 months (the equivalent, in mouse age, to a 50-year-old woman) were replaced by fresh ones from 2-month-old females. The mice lived 40% longer than mice that had undergone no surgery, the scientists found.
