The study, which was published in the journal “Cell Metabolism,” found that mice who were fed a high-fat diet supplemented with antioxidants, such as vitamin E and C, had a longer life span than those who were not.
The study’s lead author, Dr. Mingyang Song, said that the findings suggest that antioxidants may be beneficial for aging and may help to prevent age-related diseases.
“Our study provides the first evidence that dietary antioxidants can extend lifespan in a mouse model of aging,” Song said. “We believe that our findings may have important implications for the prevention and treatment of age-related diseases.”
The study’s other authors included Dr. Youfa Wang and Dr. Shuang Zhao from the University of Southern California, Dr. Wei Zheng from the University of California, Irvine, and Dr. Jie Zhang from the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center.
The study’s participants were mice that were genetically modified to have a high level of inflammation. The mice were divided into two groups: the first group was fed a high-fat diet, while the second group was fed a high-fat diet supplemented with antioxidants.
The mice in the antioxidant group had a longer life span than the mice in the control group. The lifespan of the mice in the antioxidant group was increased by about 20 percent, compared to the lifespan of the mice in the control group.

The Role of Antioxidants in Anti-Aging
The role of antioxidants in anti-aging has been a topic of much debate. Some scientists believe that antioxidants can help prevent the development of age-related diseases, while others believe that antioxidants have no effect on the aging process.
The jury is still out on the role of antioxidants in anti-aging, but there is evidence that they may play a role. Antioxidants are chemicals that protect cells from damage by free radicals. Free radicals are molecules that are created when the body breaks down molecules.
Free radicals can damage cells and tissues, leading to the development of age-related diseases. Antioxidants can neutralize free radicals, preventing damage to cells and tissues.
There is evidence that antioxidants can help prevent the development of age-related diseases. For example, studies have shown that people who consume high levels of antioxidants have a lower risk of developing cancer.
Antioxidants may also help prevent the development of age-related wrinkles and age-related skin damage.
