      BCAA restriction at below 8 grams, or protein restriction at 5-8% keeps me going on top of high dose Alpha lipoic acid. K2 MK7, D3 Megadosing and magnesium bisglycinate since it plays a important role in BCAA catabolism with glycine and both magnesium. My BHB ketones could be at 3-6 mmol. maybe 1.5 mmol if i do some targeted carbs at 60 grams with glass noodles. Screw senescent cells accumulating BCAAs and the age related chronic activation of mTOR and the role of elevated serum BCAAs in obese humans and animals and elderly sarcopenic muscle. Add in pro-metabolic saturated fat while avoiding anti metabolic MUFA and eliminating PUFA as much as possible to 3% of energy intake.

    As mentioned elsewhere in the comments, Omega 3 fats can inhibit IL-11.
    I remember reading that the painkiller Indomethacin is also a potent IL-11 blocker.
    The anti inflammatory dexamethasone blocks IL-11 too.
    Likely we can find other natural compounds and synthetic anti inflammatories that reduce IL-11 activity.

    Controlling IL-11 seems like another reason to keep systemic inflammation low. Maybe mapping out what's upstream of IL-11 can help clarify potential lifestyle interventions. Also, as IL-11 is part of the IL-6 family of cytokines I wonder if tracking IL-6 (blood test) can provide insight into IL-11. Low IL-6 is a good marker on its own.

      I haven't seen any study that shows that fish oil lowers IL-11. Only the effect of IL-6 have been shown. It's not the same. One IL type may go up while another may go down with any given supplement.

    I've read that the leading cause of natural death in aged lab mice is cancer. Did the report provide any data on cause-of-death of the treated mice? The reason I'm asking is that perhaps inhibiting IL-11 in old-aged mice might have delayed development of cancer, thereby extending lifespan. Just curious, since that might point to IL-11 inhibition as a potential strategy in treating or preventing cancer.

      @@ModernHealthspan I think the flowchart says the opposite and that the net effect of inhibiting IL-11 is to inhibit MTOR. Note that other therapies strive to inhibit MTOR. Reading the flowchart: IL-11 inhibition reduces the inhibition of LKB1, so raises LKB1 and AMPK. Then more AMPK increases the inhibition of MTOR.

      AI generated response:
      Curcumin:
      Curcumin, the active compound in turmeric, has been found to inhibit the production and signaling of IL-11 in various studies.
      Curcumin can suppress the expression of IL-11 and its downstream signaling pathways, which may have potential therapeutic applications in conditions associated with elevated IL-11 levels.
      Resveratrol:
      Resveratrol, a polyphenol found in red wine and other plants, has been shown to inhibit the production and signaling of IL-11.
      Resveratrol can downregulate the expression of IL-11 and disrupt its signaling cascade, leading to reduced IL-11-mediated effects.
      Green tea polyphenols:
      Compounds in green tea, such as epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), have been observed to inhibit the production and activity of IL-11.
      Green tea polyphenols can modulate the expression and signaling of IL-11, which may contribute to their anti-inflammatory and potential therapeutic properties.
      Omega-3 fatty acids:
      Omega-3 fatty acids, such as those found in fish oil, have been reported to inhibit the production and signaling of IL-11.
      The anti-inflammatory effects of omega-3 fatty acids may be partly mediated through their ability to suppress IL-11 levels and signaling.

      Not sure if this would work but CoQ10 can lower IL-6 and IL-11 is in the IL-6 cytokine family. There is evidence that CoQ10 can act synergistically with cancer therapy but the mechanism isn’t understood- it’s possible it could be reducing IL-11, which is pro-cancerous.
      Also keep in mind that IL-11 reduction is going to have more impact on mice since they are far more likely to die of cancer.

Result: median lifespan was extended about 20 percent in females and about 12 percent in males. Other scientists checked other possibilities for the result. Not metabolism. Can't remember the other possibility, but it was ruled out too. The change in temperature is what lengthened their lives.
      It is known that calorie restriction reduces body temperature. Metformin, berberine, rapamycin... all lower mouse body temp.
      Babies feel warm because of brown fat. As we age, we lose most of that, which is why a draft can hurt. There is evidence that we can grow brown fat by ice bath submersion. I don't know how valid that research is. Maybe people with less brown fat just quit the experiments.
