Longitudinal studies examining factors affecting mammalian longevity have found that chronic hypoxia, or reduction in airborne oxygen levels, activates genes associated with longevity in mice. About it in an interview kp.ru said a senior researcher at Moscow State University’s Laboratory of Aging Systems Biology. MV Lomonosov Alexander Tyshkovsky.
“Chronic hypoxia is also known to significantly extend the lifespan of roundworms, for example. And just a few months ago, another group of scientists showed that hypoxia extends the lifespan of mice with accelerated aging syndrome – progeria. We’ll see if it can turn ordinary, healthy mice into centenarian mice,” the scientist continued.
He stressed that if chronic hypoxia is confirmed to extend the lifespan of mammals, humans will have an additional reason to vacation in the mountains where the air is thinner.
