Scientists from Udmurtia have discovered a way to slow down the aging of cats.
The method was developed by researchers from the Izhevsk State Medical Academy (ISMA).
Russian scientists have created a special food additive that slows down the aging of pets, writes the Udm-Info portal.
Studies have been conducted that have shown the effectiveness of the product.
The experiment involved cats that lived on the street or in a shelter. At that time, these were sick and weak animals.
An important result was obtained just 3 months after the start of the tests.
During this time, the animals have increased the number of proteins that are associated with long life in cats.
At the same time, a decrease in markers associated with aging was recorded. The cats themselves began to look healthier.
The formula has already been patented. Scientists intend to present their development at an exhibition in Moscow.
