“Magic mushrooms” goes back to the body of mice sciences

An international team of researchers, led by scientists from the American University of Emory, discovered that the subject of Bselosipine, which is the effective component of “magic mushrooms”, not only affects the psychological state, but may slow aging and help to prolong the age, according to experiments on the mice whose results appeared in a study published in the journal “Nature Eges”.

Magic mushrooms or mushrooms in celosipine, is a natural mushroom that grows in wet places and shadow in the forests and pastures. It contains chemical compounds (the most important of which is biccipine) that turns into the body into a cylosin.

For decades, scientists have known that this substance affects serotonin receptors in the brain, which is a nervous carrier responsible for mood and thinking. This causes changes in sensory perception, such as seeing unusual colors and shapes, and changes in thinking and feelings, but what is new is that this material can reflect the direction of aging.

Experiments on mice and cells

According to the study, researchers used mice 19 months, equivalent to 60-65 years in humans, giving them a preliminary low dose of Pselosibin (5 milligrams), then a monthly high dose (15 milligrams) for 10 months.

The results of the experiments came to say that the mice that received the active substance lived 30% longer than other mice that did not receive treatment.

Besides, mice seemed healthier, as their beds became more intense, new bristles appeared, and white hair, which indicates that they recovered something of their vitality and youth.

After that, the researchers conducted similar experiences, but on isolated human cells in the laboratory, and found that the bicnosin increased the life of the skin and human lung cells by more than 50%, as the cells have lived longer before entering aging.

Reverse aging

In this context, the researchers discovered that bacuseibin affects several basic processes related to aging, such as reducing oxidative stress, a condition in which cell damage occurs due to increased free radicals (harmful molecules) and the lack of antioxidants equivalent, which speeds aging and increases the risk of chronic diseases.

Besides, the researchers found that bacuseibin helps improve the ability of cells to repair the DNA, which is an essential criterion in entering the body in the aging stage.

According to the study, bacuseibin also helps to maintain the length of telomeres, which are protective covers on the ends of chromosomes that are short with age and lead to diseases such as cancer and Alzheimer’s.

The foregoing indicates that biccipine may be the basis for a revolutionary treatment that delays aging and improves the quality of life with age, especially as experiments on mice at a late age have achieved clear results in improving health and longevity, according to an official press release issued by the university.

But of course, it is still at an early stage, as studying on isolated mice and human cells has not been tested on humans yet, and therefore there is a need for clinical experiences on humans, to confirm the existence of this effect, and to understand the doses and side effects accurately.
