Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to analyze craniofacial tissue aging in a genetically diverse HET3 mouse model and determine if the hormone 17-alpha estradiol (17αE2) could enhance tissue health alongside increased longevity in male mice.
- Male HET3 mice were categorized into age groups and treated with a diet supplemented with 17αE2 to observe changes in craniofacial tissue volume and density.
- Results showed that while some aspects of tissue structure changed with age, treatment with 17αE2 positively affected cementum and dentin, suggesting it may help improve the health of aging dental tissues in male mice.
