Subjecting to a strict caloric restriction, either by reducing food intake or by subjecting to intermittent fasting, is one of the keys that often handle those who investigate aging to delay the biological clock and ultimately extend life expectancy. However, transferring this Spartan rigor to humans is not easy, because for many patients living in hunger is not an attractive recipe, much less in the long term. An alternative could be in the sam…
Researchers think that the anti-ageing effect also occurs in people, but warn that there is a lack of studies to prove it.
Wigobi Ingredient Extends Lifespan of Female Mice by 12%: International Joint Research Team Including UC Berkeley Alleviates Cellular Aging and Increases Nerve Cell Production. Animal experiment results indicate that semaglutide, the active ingredient in the obesity treatment Wigobi and the diabetes treatment Ozempic, goes beyond simple weight loss effects to slow aging and extend lifespan, according to international academic research.
Weight-loss drug slows ageing in female mice
Nature, Published online: 02 September 2026; doi:10.1038/d41586-026-02468-7In one inbred strain of laboratory mice, late-life treatment with a GLP-1 drug extends lifespan. This effect might be more than just a consequence of calorie restriction.
GLP-1 Drug Semaglutide Slows Aging and Extends Lifespan in Mice
Semaglutide improved health, reduced aging-related changes, and extended lifespan in older female mice, sometimes outperforming caloric restriction. However, human longevity benefits remain unproven. The post GLP-1 Drug Semaglutide Slows Aging and Extends Lifespan in Mice appeared first on GEN - Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology News.
