If the therapeutic effect comes from defatting the thymus, there might be other ways to do it, such as taking betaine.

Do you know how to make a hormone ?

Refuse to pay her.

There is no limit to the money that will be spent, and the aborted babies to be dissected and used in experiments that will stop the ruling elite from trying to obtain immortality.

I think that the effect is not from defatting the thymus, but from either preventing thymic cells from dying with age or by inducing cells in the thymus to become a certain cell type. The full article said that the mechanism of protection by the hormone FGF21 remains to be elucidated. But that would be my working hypothesis.

Is betaine what they’re talking about?

[Michael.SF.]

If we keep electing people like Obama and Hillary, who would want to use this hormone?

100+ is when you can really start enjoying life.

[Politicalkiddo]

No, thanks. I couldn’t bear 40% extra time on this miserable planet.

Now Social Security is really screwed.

There’s just one catch: you spend all the extra time as an 80-year-old.

FGF21 increases on a calorie restricted diet.

Starvation hormone markedly extends mouse life span

There is a growing body of research that indicates daily fasting (12 hours without eating) and a ketogenic diet raise FGF21 levels independent of caloric intake.

Most studies of FGF21 have been done with mouse knock off models. These generally do not necessarily translate well to human studies, however are useful for understanding FGF21 effects and regulation.

Fibroblast growth factor 21 is a metabolic regulator that plays a role in the adaptation to ketosis

Other mouse model and human studies indicate cyclical calorie restriction of 12 hours a day increase FGF21 signally and improve lipid profiles. Sorry. I lost the links on that one.
