Pill linked to long life in mice
By Helen Briggs
BBC News
A diabetes pill has anti-ageing effects and extends the life of male mice, research suggests.
Scientists believe the drug, metformin, may mimic the effects of extreme calorie restriction.
This regime, which is based on eating a very low calorie diet, is thought to promote healthy ageing.
The human implications of the study are unclear, the researchers report in the journal, Nature Communications.
Rafael de Cabo, of the National Institute on Ageing in Baltimore, Maryland, US, said calorie restriction in laboratory animals had been shown to increase their lifespan.
