Resveratrol Activates a Longevity Gene (Anti-Aging)In a widely publicized report, researchers at Harvard Medical Schooland BIOMOL Laboratories have demonstrated that Resveratrol activates a “longevity gene” by activating a cell’s survival defense enzyme, which prolongs the time cells have to repair their broken DNA.One of the known causes of aging and death is that older cells lose their ability to perfectly replicate DNA in every new cell. DNA “mistakes” accumulate and allow little pieces of DNA to become active and print themselves out, so to speak, creating a type of “DNA debris” that eventually stops a cell from functioning effectively. It is similar to printing out a report and having a couple of pages at the end not contain any relevant information-so you throw them away. The cell can’t throw away the extra “printed out” DNA; it accumulates and clogs up the cell.
This build up of “debris” is connected to aging, and the death of individual cells. Resveratrol reduces the frequency of “DNA debris” by 60% through the longevity gene that is stimulated. [25-27, 11, 16]*Resveratrol’s ability to activate the gene has to do with its chemical structure, not its antioxidant potential. It works by increasing the rate of a reaction known as “deacetylation.” Acetylation reactions affect whether a gene is “off” or “on.” This is extremely important. In cancer cells, for example, genes are activated that aren’t supposed to be and vice versa. By controlling deacetylation and augmenting the longevity gene, resveratrol is able to confer some serious life extension benefits-at least in the laboratory organisms.
Resveratrol has been in the news a great deal! Led by Dr. David Sinclair at Harvard University, research studies continue to find more interesting benefits from this compound, including potential anti-cancer, anti-aging, and life extension activity. Considerable attention is focused on anticancer properties, both in solid tumors and hematologic malignancies. It is not surprising that Resveratrol is shaping up to be the greatest nutritional discovery of our lifetimes.
The media has nick-named Resveratrol as the “fountain of youth”, and you will soon read some of the scientific data that gave birth to this world-wide interest. view videos http://everydaymotivations.com/RejenX.aspx
