The international group of scientists from the United States and China found that the injections of the C1 procyanidine (PCC1) contained in grape seed extract, prolong the life of the old animal. This is reported in an article published in the journal Nature Metabolism.
researchers experienced 46 plant extracts for anti-aging properties. The initial tests during screening have shown that PCC1 reduces the number of density cells in the human prostate. Sexative cells are old cells that distinguish substances that contribute to the violation of the functions nearby cells. In low doses, Procyanidine C1 helped suppress inflammatory processes, and in high – killing aging cells.
Then scientists introduced the PCC1 171 mice, 91 of which were quite old. As a result, they found that the substance increased the total life expectancy of mice by nine percent, and the remaining duration of their life is an average of 60 percent. The researchers also introduced the extract to younger mice for four months and found it improved their physical form.
Researchers also introduced this chemical mice that had cancer tumors. It turned out that it helped to reduce the neoplasms in combination with chemotherapy. Scientists also found that the same thing happens to human tumor cells, implanted mice. In this case, healthy cells had no damage.
