Iron and Aging
Gordon and Rhonda discuss the effects of excess dietary iron on protein homeostasis and aging. Their research shows that elevated iron levels during normal aging can accelerate molecular pathology, but feeding iron Collater can protect against protein aggregation and extend lifespan. These findings could be physiologically relevant to humans, especially those who work with metals.In this clip
