A protein able to adjust longevity e metabolism. She exists and is called Klotho, like the youngest of the 3 Moirai of Greek mythology (the daughters of Zeus), the one who spun the warp of life. Several studies demonstrate that the transmembrane protein allows you to control the sensitivity of cells toinsulinalso being involved in the aging process.
Studies on Klotho, the protein linked to aging
A study published in Nature showed that even a low dose of Klotho is capable of improve cognitive functions in older monkeys.
According to the researchers, “the Klotho supply it might turn out therapeutic even in aging humans.”

As reported by Sky TG24the concentration of protein in the blood would decrease as we age. For this reason, the researchers explain, it is important check the levels per improve the quality of life.
Other studies confirm it as a variant of topi without this protein they aged more quickly, suffering from cardiovascular diseases and organ degeneration. Conversely, higher levels of Klotho in the blood improved and prolonged the creatures’ lives.

The anti-inflammatory function
The neuroendocrinologist Ascanio Polimeniinterviewed by Corriere della Seraexplained that the Klotho is a marker very reliable linked to lifestyle.
“Who is stressed out, obesewho eats and sleeps badlythose who do not practice physical activity have an easier time depressed levels of this proteinunlike those who have a better lifestyle.”
Science hypothesizes that one of its main functions may be to act as anti-inflammatory proteina fundamental role in terms of controlling harmful inflammatory responses linked to aging and neurodegenerative diseases.

The protein being tested
The Klotho protein is still being developed experimentation e cannot be administered to human beings.
However, it is possible to stimulate it natural release. To do this, experts recommend following a healthy lifestyle, doing physical activity, decreasing your daily calorie intake and monitoring sleep and stress.
The Bryan Johnson case
Bryan Johnsonthe 44-year-old American billionaire who became known for lowering his physical age to 21, knows the properties of this protein well.
The secret of his anti-aging routinein fact, would revolve around keeping his high Alpha Klotho index in the blood.
