Fuleryt (or fullerene C60) - allotropic variety of carbon, present in the form of spheres of nano-sized consisting of 60 carbon atoms has long been suspected of it, it may have some medicinal properties. Now scientists studying the case of the toxicity of this substance have found that it can prolong our lives twice.
The study was conducted at the University of Paris Sud, the rats were administered fuleryt. The control group maintained at the normal diet - without C60, the other was getting in addition pure olive oil, and the third to the oil fuleryt was added at a concentration of 0.8 mg / ml.
The results were a complete surprise, since the study was to see how much toxity for our body is the chemical compound. So when we found that the control group lived 22 months, the rats consuming olive 26 months, and those who received fuleryt - 42 months - scientists could not believe it.
They concluded that this effect was caused by a reduction in oxidative stress - the natural imbalance between the action of reactive oxygen species and the biological capacity for rapid detoxification of reactive intermediates or repair the damage done - which is one of the major factors in the aging of the body.
The discovery is a gigantic breakthrough - after all, who would not want to live any longer. However, this is only the first study, and pending the launch of the product, which can extend our lives may take twice as long time.
