科普專欄–薯不揀單 - 深入淺出–延壽藥物的研究(一)

往不同動物例如老鼠及線蟲注射治療糖尿病的藥物(Metformin)後，壽命均會有顯著的增長。765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuerK54RJl

有研究利用現成資料庫作對比，發現服用Metformin的糖尿病人歲數比沒有服用Metformin的健康人士為長(Ref1)，亦有臨床研究嘗試為14名70歲的健康老人家注射為期6星期的Metformin，藉觀察體內的轉變以作抗衰老藥的研究基礎(Ref2)。765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTD9UhpB4dy

（圖2）從圖中可見，往年輕線蟲注射Metformin的話，牠們的生存日子便會增長。765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNSfXLbL57

（圖3）但是，與年輕線蟲相反，往年老的線蟲注射Metformin的話，牠們的生存日子不但沒有增加，反而會減少。765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjeiL44CBt

（圖4）經過一系列的實驗，科學家認為Metformin能夠驅使年輕線蟲延壽的其中一個原因，是與粒線體的整體功用有關(Ref3)。765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WGIQctTiP

其中，Metformin為年輕線蟲的新陳代謝作出轉變，包括增加碳水化合物的分解，減低脂肪的含量等，但年老的線蟲卻沒能夠觸發同樣的效果，反而更會因新陳代謝機制的不良負荷而增加死亡率。765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JYNnsQRGk

文中的科學家亦就此作出質疑，既然Metformin只能使年輕線蟲而非年老線蟲延壽，那又究竟是否值得「魯莽」地對健康老人家進行Metformin的延壽研究。765Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQew1g6PeA
