Researchers at Rutgers New Jersey Medical School found that mice lacking the RGS14 gene developed powerful brown fat that enhanced their lifespan and improved exercise capacity by about 30%. This brown fat aids in calorie burning, improves blood flow during physical activity, and protects against age-related issues like obesity and cardiovascular diseases. The findings stemmed from broader research on healthy aging, suggesting potential drug developments that could replicate these effects for humans to maintain fitness as they age.
Rutgers Health researchers discovered that modified mice lacking the RGS14 gene developed potent brown fat, which increased lifespan and exercise capacity, paving the way for human applications.
The study revealed that genetically modified mice enhanced exercise performance by 30%, providing a potential basis for developing drugs aimed at mimicking this effect in humans.
