Daniel A Adekunbi, Bowen Yang, Hillary F Huber, Angelica M Riojas, Alexander J Moody, Cun Li, Michael Olivier, Peter W Nathanielsz, Geoffery D Clarke, Laura A Cox, Adam B Salmon bioRxiv [Preprint]. 2024 May 5:2024.05.02.592246. doi: 10.1101/2024.05.02.592246. Abstract: We previously demonstrated in baboons that maternal undernutrition (MUN), achieved by 70 % of control nutrition, impairs […]


The Gehan test identifies life-extending compounds overlooked by the log-rank test in the NIA Interventions Testing Program: Metformin, Enalapril, caffeic acid phenethyl ester, green tea extract, and 17-dimethylaminoethylamino-17-demethoxygeldanamycin hydrochloride

April 17, 2024

Nisi Jiang, Jonathan Gelfond, Qianqian Liu, Randy Strong, James F Nelson Geroscience. 2024 Oct;46(5):4533-4541. doi: 10.1007/s11357-024-01161-9. Epub 2024 Apr 17. Abstract: The National Institute on Aging Interventions Testing Program (ITP) has so far identified 12 compounds that extend the lifespan of genetically heterogeneous mice using the log-rank test. However, the log-rank test is relatively insensitive […]
