A new study out of Scotland has revealed that two types of protein found in the blood can cause a person to have worse health and live a shorter lifespan.
Scientists in Scotland conducted a new study on blood cells that affect human lifespan.
In the study, it was stated that lowering the level of two types of proteins in the blood may extend lifespan.
Researchers at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland have revealed that two types of protein found in a person's blood can cause a person to have worse health and live a shorter lifespan.
The study found that people with high levels of apolipoprotein (LPA) and vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 (VCAM1) in their blood generally lived shorter lives.
The team that carried out the research stated that they believe that the development of drugs or other treatments that can reduce the levels of these proteins in the blood can help people live longer, healthier lives.
The report on the study stressed that complete reversal of the aging process is probably impossible, but identifying the factors that lead to shorter lifespans could slow the aging process.
Leading the research, Edinburgh University MRC Human Genetics Unit member Dr. "Identification of these two key proteins could help extend healthy life years," Paul Timmers said in a statement.
"Drugs that lower the levels of these proteins in our blood could allow the average person to live as healthy as individuals who are genetically strong and born with genetically low levels of LPA and VCAM1," said Timmers.
Publishing their findings in Nature Aging last week, the research team conducted a meta-analysis of six studies investigating the links between genetics and aging.
While 857 proteins were analyzed in the study, LPA and VCAM1 in particular were identified as those most associated with aging, unhealthy lives and shorter lifespans.
"Our analysis suggested that the detrimental effect of LPA may apply to aging more generally, and that strict co-localization and reverse MRI tests provide additional evidence for causation," the study's report wrote.
"This study demonstrates the power of modern genetics to identify two potential targets for extending the lifespan of future drugs," said Jim Wilson, head of human genetics at the University of Edinburgh. nonstop news
