Related diseases studied together Metabolic diseases include hypertension, type 2 diabetes, hyperlipidemia, obesity, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease [1]. These diseases, representing fundamental problems with how the human body uses energy, are heavily linked to systemic...

Anti-diabetes and anti-aging Canagliflozin, a widely used anti-diabetes drug, belongs to the class of sodium glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors, which regulate glucose reabsorption by the kidneys.

Scientists have found that rapamycin and metformin work hand in hand in diabetes-prone mice, boosting each other's effectiveness and blocking side effects [1]. The combination hypothesis Rapamycin and metformin are probably the two most promising anti-aging drugs known. Both have been in use for various indications for decades and have decent safety profiles. However, there...

A large Phase 3 study published in the New England Journal of Medicine shows that an existing drug combined with a healthy diet and mild exercise leads to an average weight loss of 20% [1]. Diet and exercise are not always enough Being a known comorbid factor in many diseases of aging, obesity is tightly...
