@AlphaZance - There is some controversy associated with the claim that Jeanne Calment was the world's oldest-ever person. World’s oldest-ever person was fraud who stole mother’s identity, researchers claim

Regular Glucosamine Use Linked to Fewer Chronic Diseases

@Mauritio - Your not alone the market is with you.

This graph my indicate that the control diet was not very good. I have a very good diet and so I do not expect to get similar results from supplementation.

@DavidPS said in Lifespan-Extending Endogenous Metabolites: I am wondering if the endogenous increase is a compensatory mechanism for the lower protein. I think it is. A compensation for the low levels of sulfur amino acids to be precise.

@engineer I wouldn't call it a goal, because high endogenous production of T would cause scrotal T+DHT to be high. But there is no benefit of adding androgenic or estrogenic substances to the testicles. The precursor steroids at least pregnenolone has shown to be protective. Not sure what you mean about the DHT/estrogen balance.

@engineer SSRIs have a much more generalized effect than a direct 5-HT1a receptor agonist since serotonin will be divided among all other receptors From another study 8-OH-DPAT influences extracellular levels of serotonin and dopamine in the medial preoptic area of male rats [image: 1768918294031-3d46999d-9aad-44ea-8bf1-36bfb5e7c66b-image.png] Pharmacological characterization of 8-OH-DPAT-induced inhibition of rat hippocampal 5-HT release in vivo as measured by microdialysis [image: 1768920594623-d36fbbc0-87ea-42bd-be31-d2f3fde2633a-image.png]

@Hearthfire Appreciate the detail. Great news on the vellus hair growth.

@sunsunsun Thanks for chiming in. The dosages really are not self-evident, ever. Given the general amount of animal studies wherein astrononimcal concentrations are being used to draw conclusions, it's difficult to say what is uncalled for timidness and waste of effort and what's straight out daftly excessive, wasteful and potentiall harmful at the other end. E.g. there are still people believing they need 5000 IU hGC per week when actually 250 IU (400IU max) every other day is pretty much enough for the whole effect. Also, IFN-y is only being used at 100mcg. Its precursor Interleukin-12 (IL-12) appears to must be used only in single digit mcg amounts, if at all. Have you gained any experiences with the thymic peptides? I'll restart with the Glu-Trp thymogen and begin with the TA1.

@Mauritio - I am a whole foods type of person. I encourage others to get their nutrients from food.

@engineer - Vitamin A & D is probably not the full story. Chris MasterJohn has a checklist which uncludes other things that you are probably doing as well. https://chrismasterjohnphd.substack.com/p/what-everyone-should-be-doing-for
