2009 - A discussion about substances that have had a significant impact on the longevity of mammals: are there implications for humans

Antiageing medicine receives a lot of criticism from some within ‘mainstream’ medicine. In particular, they claim that our field does not measure or treat ageing as a whole, but rather ‘just’ individualised compartments of it. Some of this blame may be justifiable given the lack of references to the theories of ageing at many antiageing meetings. What this lecture attempts to do is try to address some of these criticisms and to present a brief background of the antiaging movement, as well as some of the leading theories of ageing. Some specific trial outcomes on mammals with the substances vasopressin, centrophenoxine, melatonin and deprenyl will be highlighted. As all of these substances have had significant impact in extending the lifespan of mammals, we shall also ask that most pertinent question, as to whether or not there are implications for humans using these same protocols- to also be able to extend their own longevity significantly.
