The study found that the biochemical reagent α-ketoglutarate can prolong life

Alpha-ketaglutarate (AKG) , CAS number: 328-50-7, is a versatile biochemical reagent.

In recent years, with the deepening of research, scientists have gradually discovered the application of α-ketoglutarate in more fields, such as the field of medical care.

Researchers from the United States and Singapore added α-ketoglutarate (AKG) to the food of middle-aged mice .

The researchers also found that mice fed alpha-ketoglutarate showed decreased levels of systemic inflammatory cytokines

The key point is that by observing the mice that have taken α-ketoglutarate for a long time , there are no obvious adverse reactions, which shows that the substance has good biological safety and its mechanism may also be applicable to humans

The discovery of the function of α-ketoglutarate is of great significance to human anti-aging research
