Enterosorption

Cholesterol hypothesis of aging, developed since the beginning of the century NN Anichkov claims that atherosclerosis - one of the major age-related diseases associated with increased blood cholesterol levels. Increases with age the body's sensitivity to the effects of toxic substances and enhances intoxication. It is noticed that the animals have a more robust neutralizing toxins (microsomal oxidation) live longer.

The function of this system weakens with age. Therefore, to slow aging and prolong life, VG Nikolaev, a method was proposed enterosorbtion - the removal of toxins and their metabolites, cholesterol, and atherogenic lipid fractions.
The method consists in adding to the food sinks (sorbents) to clean the gastro-intestinal juice of toxins and other substances. The liquid portion of the juice is filtered from the blood and the intestine is absorbed into the blood. Formed a peculiar variant of hemosorption (cleansing the blood of toxins or reduced levels of cholesterol).
The method of hemodialysis and enterosorbtion, as well as cholesterol theory of aging, intensively Lopukhin L. et al. In experiments VV Frolkis et al., In rats 20 months of age addition to a diet of carbon sorbent SKN (nitrogen-containing carbon) caused an increase in life expectancy at 43.4%, the maximum life expectancy - at 34.4%, delay age-related changes of the liver, kidneys, heart, intestines and pancreas, lowering cholesterol and triglycerides in the liver, blood and brain. Interestingly, the earlier an American scientist A. Carrel expressed the opinion that the blood of old animals contains a "factor of death." The old decrepit dog, he removed two thirds of blood, carefully laundered red blood cells in saline on the intended factor, and then re-transfused animals. The dog began to grow hair, sharply risen motor activity, restored the sexual instinct.
However, this rejuvenation was short-lived, and the factor of aging could not identify.

Enterosorbtion method proved to be effective in preventing atherosclerosis (CHD and heart attack), brain (stroke), diabetes, and autointoxication of the human body. Therefore, this method can be used for the prevention of aging. Apparently, this is one of the few ways, actually retards aging, can be used to prolong human life.
