A combination of chicken embryo extract and a nutritional supplement protect a rat model of aging against d-galactose-induced dysfunction of mitochondria and autophagy.

The aging process is usually associated with increased oxidative stress and deficiency of tissues and organs, which causes a decline in the life quality of individuals. Some anti-oxidant factors derived from foods have been implicated in delaying senescence and sustaining health. The present study aimed to assess the anti-aging effects and underlying mechanism of the combined application of chicken embryo (CE) extract and a nutritional mixture (NM) of 52 ingredients on the aging process of d-galactose (d-gal)-induced rats.

Combination of chick embryo and nutrient mixture prevent D-galactose-induced cognitive deficits, immune impairment and oxidative stress in aging rat model.

Aging is spontaneous and inevitable processes that lead to changes in biological systems.
