The search continues for possible interventions that delay and/or reverse biological aging, resulting in extended healthspan and lifespan. Interventions delaying aging in animal models are well established; however, most lack validation in humans. The length of human lifespan makes it impractical to perform survival analysis.

In ultrathin sections of isolated rat liver nuclei and chromatin fibril represents a chain of 250-A globules. Electron microscopic examination of the physiologically loose globules of diffuse chromatin or globules of compact chromatin loosened by heparin treatment has revealed that each 250-A globule contains a nucleosome covered with 60--85-A thick layer -- "a capsule of a nucleosome". Some filaments, approximately 20 A in diameter, can be distinguished within the capsule each being attached to the nucleosome by a dark granule.

Isolated nuclei of rat hepatocytes were incubated with 0.05% sodium heparinate for 2 to 10 min. Alterations in the nuclei were controlled biochemically, determining the amounts of DNA and histones, and by cytophotometric methods determining the amounts of total and nonhistone proteins and DNA.
