Exercise Reduces Aging in Mouse Experimental Model

Exercise Reduces Aging in Mouse Experimental Model

There are two things that universally appear to delay the aging process; caloric restriction and exercise. A new study performed on mice shows how organ-specific aging can be reduced through exercise. The researchers used a group of mutant mice that have a defective mitochondrial DNA repair gene.  This defect accelerates the normal aging process in mice due to accruing mitochondrial dysfunction.
