Near-infrared light increases ATP, extends lifespan and improves mobility in aged Drosophila melanogaster

Near-infrared light increases ATP, extends lifespan and improves mobility in aged Drosophila melanogaster

Ageing is an irreversible cellular decline partly driven by failing mitochondrial integrity. Mitochondria accumulate DNA mutations and reduce ATP production necessary for cellular metabolism. This is associated with inflammation. Near-infrared exposure increases retinal ATP in old mice via cytochrom...
